Hibner

The Ravens signed fifth-round TE Josh Cuevas as well. Hibner’s deal is worth $5 million, while Cuevas’ is worth $4.6 million. Hibner totaled 55 catches, 804 yards and eight touchdowns over his last two seasons at SMU. The two rookie tight ends will compete with veteran TE Durham Smythe for the No. 2 tight end role.

Hibner (6’4/251) is a sixth-year senior who began his career as a reserve tight end and special teamer with Michigan. He transferred to SMU prior to the 2024 season and became a starter, tallying 55 receptions for 804 yards and eight touchdowns across two seasons with the Mustangs. Displaying straight-line speed with a 4.57 40-yard dash at the combine, Hibner has the ability to be a solid downfield target. He split time between the slot, wing, and inline roles in college, showing versatility as a receiver. Hibner isn’t imposing as a blocker and has limited college production, but his extensive special teams experience will help in giving him a chance to stick on an NFL roster. In Baltimore he will join Mark Andrews and Durham Smythe in the tight end room. The Ravens had traditionally been among the league leaders in multiple tight end set usage.
