Draft Profile: Bio
Foley spent three seasons at Indiana as a special-teamer without a catch before transferring to Tulsa, where 2025 changed his career: 37 receptions, 533 yards and seven touchdowns and first-team All-AAC, his scoring total second among all FBS tight ends.He chose Louisville over Notre Dame for 2026 and landed on the Mackey Award watch list, though injuries limited his availability through spring and fall camp.
At 6-6 and 260 pounds he is a big-bodied, red-zone-friendly target whose one breakout season and jump to the ACC are the story heading into the year.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Prototype size at 6-6, 260 with a wide catch radius
- Proven red-zone producer with seven touchdowns in 2025
- Solid yards-per-catch for a big-bodied tight end
- Ascending trajectory after a breakout at Tulsa
- Chosen over Notre Dame, a coveted portal target
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Only one season of real receiving production
- Injuries limited his 2026 availability through camp
- Jump from the AAC to the ACC is unproven
- In-line blocking at the next level is still a question
Scouting Report: Summary
Foley is a 6-6, 260-pound target who broke out at Tulsa in 2025 with seven touchdowns and first-team all-conference honors, a big red-zone threat who chose Louisville over Notre Dame. However, he has just one season of real production after three quiet years at Indiana, injuries clouded his 2026 camp, and the jump to the ACC is unproven.Overall, Foley is an ascending, big-bodied seam-and-red-zone tight end whose size and scoring are the draw, with health and a competition-level jump the questions. He projects as a developmental move tight end, with the ceiling of a starting red-zone weapon if he stays healthy and the floor of a depth tight end.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
