Michael Trigg is a tight end who has not played this season; the last season with a stat line was 2025, at Baylor.
Trigg creates mismatches lined up all over the formation. Played for three head coaches across five seasons and three programs. That makes two straight seasons on the honors list: All-Big 12 again in 2025. One game to point at: 155 receiving yards and 8 receptions against Kansas State — Week 6, 2025.
Play style
Lined up out wide as often as inline. Creates mismatches downfield.

Catch rate says one thing, EPA says another
9 of 20 caught on third down (45.0%) — EPA/target 0.33 vs 0.48 elsewhere (4 conversions).
Catch rate is disclosed context only, never the gate — conversions and EPA/target are. Interception targets carry no attribution row at any source, so EPA/target here is unfixably, slightly inflated.
