Scouting report for Michigan TE commit Deakon Tonielli

The Michigan Wolverines secured their seventh verbal commitment in the football class of 2023 when three-star tight end Deakon Tonielli (Oswego, Ill.) announced his pledge to the program on June 19.

A big-bodied player already, Tonielli has a lot of potential to grow into a solid all-around player at the next level. Here is a breakdown of his game and what he could bring to Michigan’s offense once he gets to college.

Scouting report

At 6-foot-6, 215 pounds, Tonielli is a major threat in the passing game with his long frame and ability to grab 50-50 balls in the air over defenders.
