Scouting Verdict
Athlon 2026 third-team All-Sun Belt tight end. His 2025 is a single game — a four-yard touchdown at Fresno State and a shoulder injury in that same game (medical hardship) — over a Western Kentucky record of seven starts in 2024 and 22 catches for 289 yards with nine starts in 2023.
