[DMoney]

Miami has officially signed one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2026 class with fast rising TE Gavin Mueller.




At 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, Mueller provides the prototypical TE build. He can serve as the traditional Y tight end, but also provides a threat in the passing game with some real athleticism and catch point prowess.

Miami has officially signed one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2026 class with fast rising TE Gavin Mueller.




At 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, Mueller provides the prototypical TE build. He can serve as the traditional Y tight end, but also provides a threat in the passing game with some real athleticism and catch point prowess.

On the athletic end, the No.1 player in Illinois checks all the boxes with an 82-inch wingspan, 4.5 40-yard alongside a 36 inch vertical and 10 foot broad jump.



What’s interesting about Mueller is how he’s only currently playing his second season of football — previously a basketball player. But despite only having two years of HS football experience, Mueller has made up for lost time with his talent and work ethic, hence his late rise up the board and sky high potential.

In his senior season, Mueller has put up some ridiculous numbers with 30 touchdowns, 1325 yards and 14.8 yards per touch at a variety of positions.

The Illinois product was originally committed to Colorado in May, and despite only offering in October, the Hurricanes made up ground in his recruitment to eventually flip him over schools like UNC, LSU and Alabama.

Gotta' love those TEs with basketball experience and athleticism. Give me another Jimmy Graham.

30 touchdowns? Who was he playing against? FSU commits?

Seems like most of the TD’s were him running the wildcat. Which is not a bad thing, but definitely uncommon.
