In his career with the Spartans, he has 24 catches for 270 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n According to Pro Football Focus, the 6-foot-5, 259 pounder logged 391 offensive snaps in 2025 for the Spartans. He logged an offensive grade of 76.4, a pass play grade of 86.4, a pass block grade of 72.5, and a run blocking grade of 56.7<\/p>\n That run-blocking grade doesn\u2019t necessarily align with his tape. Masunas is primarily an in-line tight end who will be used when Texas is in 12 personnel (two-tight end sets). Nick Townsend will likely be the fist tight end on the field in 11 personnel.<\/p>\n As a recruit, Masunas was ranked as the No. 921 overall prospect, the No. 56 tight end, and the No. 15 player in Arizona out of Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton. On3 ranked him as the No. 51 tight end and the No. 8 player in Arizona.<\/p>\n InsideTexas.com\u00a0provides just what passionate Texas fans expect: Market-leading coverage of Longhorns athletics and recruiting.<\/p>\n Join the best Texas fan community and receive all the benefits that come with it:<\/p>\n Elite team and recruiting coverage of the program you love<\/p>\n Immediate access to any Longhorns break news<\/p>\n Exclusive insider practice reports and year-round team info as well as board Q&A\u2019s with\u00a0IT\u00a0staff<\/p>\n High level discourse with the most passionate and informed Longhorns fans across multiple board forums.<\/p>\n Market leading team analysis for those who are looking to increase their understanding of Steve Sarkisian and Pete Kwiatkowski\u2019s preferred concepts<\/p>\n So much more!<\/p>\n SIGN UP and ensure no Longhorns information gets by you:\u00a0Join Inside Texas community today!<\/a><\/p>\n
