2025 Rookie Profile: Colston Loveland (TE) Michigan
Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Colston Loveland, a deep dive into the presumed first-round tight end.
Resume
Colston Loveland, a 6’5″, 245-pound tight end from Gooding, Idaho, emerged as one of the premier tight end prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft class. A multi-sport athlete in high school, Loveland starred in football and basketball, earning Idaho Gatorade Player of the Year honors in 2021 as a four-star recruit. At Gooding High School, he set single-game (19) and single-season (91) reception records, amassing 235 catches for 3,139 yards and 35 touchdowns, while also contributing as a linebacker and defensive end.
At Michigan, Loveland quickly established himself despite playing in a run-heavy offense. As a true freshman in 2022, he appeared in 14 games, starting six, and recorded 16 receptions for 235 yards and 2 touchdowns. His sophomore year in 2023 was a breakout, with 45 catches for 649 yards and 4 touchdowns, earning First-Team All-Big Ten honors and contributing to Michigan’s National Championship run. As a junior in 2024, despite inconsistent quarterback play and a shoulder injury that sidelined him for three games, he set a Michigan tight end single-season reception record with 56 catches for 582 yards and 5 touchdowns, earning Second-Team All-American honors. A Mackey Award finalist, Loveland declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, projected as a late first-round or early second-round pick.
