Cowboys signed Baylor TE Michael Trigg.

26 April 2026

After quiet stints at USC and Ole Miss, Trigg (6’4/240) carved out a seem-stretching role at Baylor in his fourth collegiate season. He racked up 395 yards in 2024 and upped that to 694 in 2025. No matter what school he was at, Trigg’s coaches used him much farther downfield than the average tight end. He finished his career with an average target depth of 10.5, one of the highest marks in the class. That’s a valuable role for a tight end, but Trigg will need to polish his game at the catch-point in the pros. He brought down just 45 percent of his career contested targets and dropped an FBS-leading seven passes in 2025. Trigg missed the NFL Combine with a hamstring injury. That issue flared up at Baylor’s Pro Day after he logged a dismal 27.5” vertical jump. Trigg’s tape is full of big plays and equally shocking drops. Without athletic measurables, he will likely be considered a developmental project by his NFL team.
