4. Scouting & Transfer Notes

Background Profile

Norfleet arrived at Missouri as a highly-touted four-star recruit and quickly made an impact, earning SEC All-Freshman honors in 2023. Standing at 6’7″, he provides a massive target for the Tigers’ passing game while serving as a foundational piece of their offensive line’s blocking schemes.

Key Strengths

  • Elite Size and Length: His 6’7″ frame and long arms create a significant mismatch for smaller defensive backs and allow him to box out linebackers in contested-catch situations.
  • Reliable Chain-Mover: Showed significant growth in his sophomore season, nearly doubling his reception total and becoming a frequent target in third-down and red-zone situations.
  • In-Line Blocking Potential: Unlike many modern “move” tight ends, Norfleet has the functional strength and willingness to be a high-level in-line blocker in the run game.

Developmental Focus

Scouts will look for Norfleet to continue refining his route-running to better utilize his size against elite SEC speed. Maintaining his athletic fluidness as he continues to add professional-grade mass to his frame will be key to his “Y” tight end projection at the next level.
