Draft Profile: Bio
Gavin Bartholomew from Blue Mountain High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Bartholomew opted to join Pittsburgh.In 2021 as a freshman Bartholomew saw action in 14 games for the Panthers as he made 28 receptions for 326 yards for an average of 11.6 yards per reception, with 4 TDs, and an elite QB rating when targeted of 153.1. As a blocker he allowed 2 pressures and no sacks.
As a sophomore in 2022 he played 12 games and had 20 catches for 284 yards for an average of 14.2 yards per catch, with 2 TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 99.0. In pass protection he gave up 2 pressures and no sacks.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Bartholomew fights his way off the line of scrimmage against press coverage, showing quick, violent hands and good balance.
- Catches well in traffic, shields the ball from defenders with his frame, and holds on despite being hit. Will fully extend, snatch, and stay in bounds.
- Has hands of glue, about as good as you 'll see in the sport.
- Good effort at the point of attack and second level as a blocker. Intelligent and will quickly acclimate to an NFL offense.
- Good body control to reach back for the pass behind him. High-points passes and has good vertical, timing and hand-eye coordination in jump-ball situations.
- He’s lanky and long-armed, but Bartholomew has the broad-shouldered frame to carry more weight. Bartholomew was a national high-jump champion in high school, and that athleticism translates to the passing game.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Inconsistent with his release off the line of scrimmage.
- Bartholomew lacks the twitch to create consistent separation, and despite his size and ability to track the ball downfield, Bartholomew isn’t great on contested catches.
- He’ll give enough effort to get in the way, but because he doesn’t get any push in the run game, he won’t be used in-line early in his career.
