Harold Fannin Jr 40 Time

Projected 40 Time: 4.72 seconds

Harold Fannin Jr is a three-year contributor at tight end for the Bowling Green Falcons. Played wide receiver in high school, but converted to tight end for BGSU. Had a breakout season in 2024 as he solidified himself as one of the best at his position. He is slightly undersized, but more than makes up for it with athleticism. Our projected 40 time of 4.72 seconds is slightly quicker than average.

Harold Fannin Jr has an excellent ability to make catches with defenders looming. He shows to have a wide catch radius and is capable of making difficult catches that require him to adjust his body. Displays a solid ability to separate from linebackers at the line of scrimmage and maintain that space up the stem. With the ball in his hands, he shows toughness as he’s difficult to tackle and fights for yards.

However, I do believe that he’ll need to put in serious effort to improve his blocking ability in all aspects. Further, I’d like to see him read the defense more efficiently and improvise to find open field for the pass. He lacks zero-to-sixty quickness as an option on screens.
