Charlie Taumoepeau-TE-Portland State

Oct 12, 2019 at 3:04 PM
Intriguing prospect that has played RB in the past and is currently a top FCS TE playing for Portland State. They move him around a lot in their offense, having him play both inline and lining him out wide, very versatile player with well developed skills as a receiver and showing improvement as a blocker. He certainly seems to have the right mentality and physical ability to become a dominant blocker if he wants to be. Outside shot at the Senior Bowl if he keeps performing at a high level.

One of his nicknames is "Gronkopeau"

Taumoepeau is a tight end who can line up inside or can spread out wide. The thing is he never played wide receiver until his junior year of high school, suiting up at running back and middle linebacker when he started football in the sixth grade, just a few years after his family moved to California from Tonga, located in the South Pacific.







"He's probably one of the most natural athletes I've ever been around," Barnum said. "He's got sneaky speed. He's run by the Pac-12. He does well against the Big Sky with the ball in his hands when he's healthy. He's just a great kid and a fun kid to watch play."

The NFL scouts have come calling as Taumoepeau builds his resume with big games against FBS teams. He totaled eight catches for 255 yards and four touchdowns against Nevada and Oregon in 2018.





The feedback Barnum has gotten is that NFL teams see Taumoepeau as an H-back, a hybrid fullback/receiver, who motions in the backfield and is a route runner.

The biggest improvement Barnum has seen Taumoepeau make this year is being crisper with running routes. That increases the value of Taumoepeau's natural running ability with the ball in his hands, when he hearkens back to his running back mentality.

Charlie Taumoepeau, Portland State | HT: 6022 | WT: 244 | HAND: 9 5/8 | ARM: 32 1/2 | WING: 77 5/8


244 at 6'2" is pretty damn thick built. Juice came in at 6'1", 248.

I love Juice, but the list of key guys coming off rookie deals and looking for those big money second contracts will be huge in the coming years. A 5M FB may not be in the cards after his contract is up next year. Maybe we don't have to find one this year, but eventually we're going to need to get a FB in the draft.

This guy definitely looks the part.
