Elijah Arroyo's path to the 2025 NFL Draft has been marked by resilience and determination. After battling significant injuries early in his collegiate career, the Miami Hurricanes tight end showcased his potential in a standout 2024 season, positioning himself as a promising prospect for NFL teams seeking a dynamic offensive weapon.
Arroyo began his college football journey at the University of Miami in 2021, contributing as a true freshman with five receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown. However, his sophomore season in 2022 was cut short due to a torn ACL, limiting him to just four games. The following year, lingering effects from the knee injury restricted his participation to four games in 2023, during which he recorded a single 11-yard reception. These consecutive injury-plagued seasons raised concerns about his durability and potential at the professional level.
Fully recovered and determined to make an impact, Arroyo returned to the field in 2024 with renewed vigor. Starting all 13 games for the Hurricanes, he amassed 35 receptions for 590 yards and seven touchdowns, earning Second-Team All-ACC honors. His performance highlighted his versatility as both a reliable pass-catcher and a red-zone threat, reaffirming his status as a top-tier tight end prospect.
Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 245 pounds, Arroyo combines size, athleticism, and route-running precision. Scouts praise his ability to stretch the field, exploit mismatches against linebackers and safeties, and contribute effectively in various offensive schemes. While his blocking skills are considered adequate, his primary value lies in his receiving capabilities and potential to serve as a dynamic offensive weapon at the next level.
Arroyo's impressive 2024 campaign has elevated his draft stock, with projections placing him between the late second and fourth rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft. Teams are intrigued by his upside, though medical evaluations will play a crucial role in determining his final draft position. Assuming he clears these assessments, Arroyo is poised to be a valuable addition to an NFL roster seeking a versatile and athletic tight end.
