TE 
Colby Simpson 
Simpson possesses prototypical size for a modern tight end, with long arms and a lean, projectable frame that college strength programs can build upon. 
At 6-5/6-6 and 225 lbs, he has the height to be a mismatch in the red zone and the wingspan to high-point balls over defenders. His athleticism is evident from his two-way play at Oaks Christian, where he contributed on defense as a sophomore (2023 season: 40 tackles, 1 sack in 12 games). He was among the “eye catchers” at the Redlands Mega Camp in summer 2023, demonstrating fluid movement and explosiveness for his size. 
Physically, Simpson moves well for a big-bodied TE, with good straight-line speed and the ability to accelerate after the catch. 
His frame suggests he could bulk up to 245-255 lbs in college, enhancing his blocking prowess while maintaining receiving upside. Camp performances indicate above-average agility and body control. 
1st Team: All Marmonte League Receiver, All County Receiver, and Oaks Christian Receiver of the year.  
Scouting Report: 
Receiving and Route Running: Simpson shows soft hands and the ability to make contested catches, using his height to box out smaller defenders. He runs crisp routes for his size, particularly on seams, posts, and curls, where he can leverage his stride length. After the catch, he has decent yards-after-contact (YAC) ability due to his size and balance, though he isn’t a burner who will outrun secondaries. 
Blocking: One of his stronger suits, given his defensive background. He engages well at the point of attack, using leverage and hand placement to sustain blocks in the run game. In pass protection, he can anchor against edge rushers but needs to add strength to handle Power 5-level defensive linemen consistently. 
Athleticism and Versatility: High-level body control and coordination, allowing him to adjust to off-target throws. His two-way experience (TE/DE) points to football IQ and toughness. He thrives in mismatch situations, splitting out wide or in the slot to exploit linebackers or safeties. Strengths 
Size and Frame: Ideal height/weight combo with room to grow; a red-zone threat who can win 50/50 balls. 
Versatility: Can line up inline, in the slot, or even detached; defensive experience adds edge and physicality. 
Hands and Ball Skills: Reliable catcher with strong concentration in traffic. 
Blocking Prowess: Willing and effective blocker who can contribute immediately in run-heavy offenses. 
Upside: Camp standout with raw tools that could flourish in a college system; nearly 20 offers from Power 4 programs (e.g., Arkansas, Baylor, Illinois, Louisville, Mississippi State, Minnesota, Purdue, Cal, Utah, Oregon State, Washington, Wake Forest) indicate high developmental potential. #RollWave Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X

WR 
Destyn Hill- LSU 
Hall is rebuilding the scheme around tempo, a heavy passing game (more than any previous year), pro-style elements, and big-play explosiveness. Hill specifically picked Tulane for this: “Coach Hall said he plans on throwing the ball way more this year than any other year. I like that plan and I am ready to go forward with it.” Hall has raved about his potential: “Really high. At the least, a two-story building. He is really talented and really driven.” With size, speed, polished route-running, and positional versatility, Hill is primed for a breakout as a mismatch weapon in the new system, exactly the kind of high-ceiling addition Hall targeted to elevate the aerial attack. 
Hill checks every box: explosive talent for Hall’s pass-first vision, deep local roots, P4 pedigree with untapped upside, and total commitment to the program. He’s exactly the high-ceiling, homegrown playmaker Tulane needed to inject speed and production into the 2026 offense. Spring practice has already shown the fit, he’s poised for a big year. #RollWave Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X

RB DJ Dugar- Oklahoma State 
Dugar specifically “brings size and speed” to complement the dynamic “Super Back” duo of Jaylin Lucas and Maurice Turner (who line up everywhere in the backfield and slot) plus SEC vet Johnnie Daniels and returnee Jamauri McClure. 
Analysts have already noted his potential as a two-way, pass-catching back to increase offensive versatility, exactly the mismatch-creating profile Hall wants in his upgraded, run-heavy but explosive system. 
In short, Dugar checks every box: size/speed explosiveness for Hall’s upgraded RB room, elite high school production with untapped college upside, youthful depth in a veteran group, and perfect physical fit for the new offense. 
He’s exactly the high-ceiling portal addition Tulane targeted to inject fresh talent and keep the ground game dominant in 2026.

WR Gabe Daniels- Syracuse 
Gabe Daniels fits Tulane as a high-upside, explosive outside WR who adds size, speed, and vertical threat to a revamped receiver room. 
He’s a 6’2”, 195-pound sophomore transfer from Syracuse (ACC) who committed in mid-January 2026 via the portal. Originally a three-star recruit out of Greater Atlanta Christian (Norcross/Atlanta area), he has three years of eligibility left. 
Athletic Profile and Scheme Fit: Tulane’s offense has long valued receivers who can stretch the field vertically, win contested catches, and create YAC on underneath routes. 
Daniels checks every box: 
• Elite speed and explosiveness: He runs a reported 4.4 forty and posted a 10.57 in the 100m (state qualifier in the 100/200 as a sophomore). This makes him a true deep threat who can stretch defenses and turn short throws into big plays. 
• Size/physicality: At 6’2”/195, he has the frame to box out DBs on jump balls, 50/50s, and fade routes, ideal for an outside “X” or “Z” role in Tulane’s system. 
• Ball skills and versatility: Reliable hands in traffic (high school production showed this), plus two-way experience (WR/CB) in HS that demonstrates football IQ and adaptability. ESPN-type scouting notes highlighted his playmaking and route-running upside. #RollWave Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X
