Draft Profile: Bio
Patrick Overmyer played quarterback at Kingwood Park High School in Texas, throwing for 2,028 yards and 24 touchdowns and running for 14 more as a senior. Basketball and baseball were his other sports, and he was recruited as a three-star tight end. His mother, Holly, was an All-American volleyball player at Ohio State.Overmyer began at UTSA, where he was a Freshman All-American in 2024 and caught 27 passes for 344 yards and five touchdowns in 2025, working mostly from the slot. He transferred to Houston for his final season.
A preseason third-team All-Big 12 pick, Overmyer has seven touchdown catches in 2026. He caught eight passes for 73 yards and a score at Texas Tech and tied the FBS record for a tight end with four touchdown catches in the 35-16 win at Kansas State on 10 October.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Red-zone weapon with seven touchdowns, including four at Kansas State
- Former quarterback who reads coverages and settles into soft spots
- Eight catches in each of the games against Texas Tech and Kansas State
- Lines up in the slot and inline, giving the offense flexibility
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Light frame for the position, and his run blocking is a weakness
- Drops have been an issue, with 11 over the last three seasons
- Contested catches are hit or miss, four of 10 this season
- Gains under 11 yards a catch, so he is mostly a short-area target
- Limited after the catch, with six avoided tackles on 39 receptions
Scouting Report: Summary
Overmyer is a smart, productive receiving tight end who has become one of Houston's top red-zone options. He reads coverages like the quarterback he used to be, finds space in the slot or inline, and had a record-tying four-touchdown day at Kansas State.However, his frame is light for the position, and his run blocking is a weakness. Drops have followed him from UTSA, he is inconsistent in contested situations, and most of his production comes on short throws.
Overall, Overmyer is a reliable move tight end with a nose for the end zone. He projects as a priority free agent who needs to get stronger as a blocker to stick.
