bv. A Rising NCAA Star Rated as a Near 5-Star Tight End Is Being Compared to Travis Kelce and Drawing Strong NFL Interest – But He’s Made His Wish Clear: “If I Get Drafted, I Only Want to Go to the Chiefs”
Kansas City, Missouri – November 8, 2025
A young star in the NCAA is turning heads across the nation. A complete tight end — fast, powerful, and instinctive — has emerged as one of college football’s most exciting prospects and a player many believe could shape the next era of the NFL. But what’s captured the hearts of Kansas City fans is his heartfelt declaration: if he’s headed to the league, he only wants to wear red and gold for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Scouts throughout the NFL have already labeled him “the next Travis Kelce” — not only for his route-running precision and yards-after-catch ability, but also for his leadership and relentless work ethic. Still only a sophomore at the NCAA level, he’s become a cornerstone for the Oregon Ducks’ offense, recording over 300 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns in just half a season — production that’s put every major franchise on alert.
According to multiple sources, the Kansas City Chiefs have already placed the young tight end on their scouting shortlist. The organization is well aware that one day they’ll need a successor to Travis Kelce, the future Hall of Famer who, at 36, remains the emotional and tactical centerpiece of their offense. And when asked about his dream destination, the prospect delivered a statement that resonated across the entire league:
“I grew up watching them play, seeing how they fight and create magic every single week. I don’t just want to play in the NFL — I want to learn from the best. And for me, that’s the Chiefs. If I get drafted, I only want to go to the Chiefs.”
The quote spread like wildfire, with Chiefs Kingdom immediately embracing him as “the chosen heir.” Analysts have echoed that sentiment, calling him “a natural fit” for Kansas City’s system — a player whose intelligence and athleticism align perfectly with Andy Reid’s offensive vision.
His name — Kenyon Sadiq, the standout tight end for the Oregon Ducks in the NCAA, once rated as a near 5-star recruit out of high school — is now seen as one of the brightest young prospects in America. With his combination of skill, drive, and maturity, Sadiq isn’t just chasing an NFL dream — he’s chasing a legacy: to continue what Travis Kelce started, and keep the Chiefs’ dynasty soaring for years to come.
