  1. 1TE: refresh recruiting board coverageTE board | TE | Need coverage
    Need fitToday

    Class-construction gap: the current board has zero TE targets. The rule of thumb is one commit per position, two is good, and extra depth can be handled through the transfer portal. 7 currently rostered; 2027 eligibility unknown, 0 committed, 0 board targets. Need scores are planning estimates from the current roster pool.
