2023 NFL DRAFT: LUKE MUSGRAVE

By Brandon Lane

Oregon State (JR), TE

Musgrave’s 2020 season was limited to just two games after suffering a knee injury. During his 2021 season he started 9-of-13 games showing promise with flashes of athleticism and receiving prowess. In his final season Musgrave started hot, catching 11 passes for 169 yards and a TD in the first two games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Limited to only 20 games over his college career he took the opportunity to attend the Senior Bowl and this is where I had the opportunity to see him consistently become a mismatch for the defense even with spotty QB play. He’s our #3 tight end in the 2022 class and if he can stay health we project him having success at the NFL level.

Pluses:

• Fluid route runner
• Athletic big frame and hands
• Proficient blocker
• Good speed

Concerns:

• Needs to add size and strength
• Injury issues
• Needs reps (only 13 starts, 47 catches)
