The Updated Tight Ends Tier List: Breaking Down the Rankings
Before diving into the latest additions, let’s revisit the previous tier list. Initially, players like Luke Lea and Jack M. Cooper dominated the S-tier, but with the introduction of new cards and changing in-game dynamics, adjustments have been made. The updated list now reflects a more balanced view of the current meta.
Here’s the revised ranking, starting with the S-tier and moving down to lower tiers:
| Tier | Players |
|---|---|
| S | Brock Bowers, Tony Gonzalez, Tyler Warren |
| A | Martellus Bennett, Rob Gronkowski, Todd Heap |
| B | Kai Latu, Tanner, Luke Has |
| C | Harold Fannon, Trey McBride, Kendall Carr |
| D | Theo, Jake Brenersto, Terence Carter |

S-Tier: The Elite Options
The S-tier represents the absolute best tight ends available in College Football 25 Ultimate Team. These players combine exceptional speed, route running, and versatility, making them valuable assets in any game mode.
Brock Bowers stands out as the top tight end in the game. With 96 speed, 98 acceleration, and impressive route running stats, he’s a dynamic receiver who can create mismatches against any defense. His 92 break tackle and 80 run block add to his versatility, making him an irreplaceable part of any offense.
Tyler Warren and Tony Gonzalez round out the S-tier. While Warren offers elite catching and route running, Gonzalez balances receiving skills with solid after-the-catch abilities, making him a complete package.
A-Tier: High-Performing Tight Ends
The A-tier features players who are just a step below the elite options but still offer excellent value. These tight ends excel in specific areas, such as blocking or route running, but may lack the all-around game of S-tier players.
Martellus Bennett brings size and strength to the field. At 6'6" and 277 pounds, he’s tough to bring down, especially with his 90 truck and 92 break tackle ratings. Meanwhile, Rob Gronkowski combines 93 speed with strong blocking skills, making him a reliable target in both the passing and running game.
B-Tier: Solid Contributors
B-tier players are dependable options who can perform well in the right system. They may not dominate games, but they provide consistent production.
Kai Latu and Tanner highlight this tier, offering balanced skill sets. Their ability to hit key route running thresholds while maintaining decent size and speed makes them valuable assets for mid-tier teams.
C-Tier and Below: Role Players and Specialists
The C-tier includes players like Harold Fannon and Trey McBride, who bring specific strengths but have noticeable weaknesses. For example, Fannon excels in short and medium route running but lacks deep speed and blocking ability.
Meanwhile, the D and F tiers are populated by players like Theo and Tyler Neville, whose stats simply don’t hold up in the current meta. These cards may serve niche roles but are generally outclassed by higher-tier options.
The tight end position in College Football 25 Ultimate Team offers a wide range of options, from elite playmakers like Brock Bowers to dependable role players like Kai Latu. By understanding the strengths and limitations of each card, players can build a more effective lineup that suits their playstyle.
