DRAFT TRACKER 2026

Sixth-year senior who broke out at SMU in his final two seasons after four quiet years with limited snaps and production. Hibner’s ankle tightness limits his change-of-direction quickness and ability to uncover underneath. He builds speed when working the seams and as an open-field runner. He has adequate hands and ball skills to make catches when contested. Hibner has the demeanor and tenacity for pro-blocking duties. However, he’s undersized and needs to work on his hand placement to improve his consistency of results. Hibner is a Day 3 talent with roster potential as a move tight end or true H-back.

Pass-catching tight end whose father, Russell, was the No. 1 overall pick of the 1991 NFL Draft and spent 10 years in the league. Maryland’s acceleration into the route is average and he coasts vertically instead of driving to separate. He runs routes with adequate leverage and breaks them off at crisp angles. He has the catch radius and body adjustments to make spectacular catches, but he needs to bring in contested tries at a higher rate. As a subpar run blocker, Maryland must elevate his play as a pass-catcher to compete for a roster spot as an “F” tight end.
