Scouting report
Why it matters. Knowing the one or two things a player does best, and where he is ordinary, says more than any single total. Seamus Gilmartin's strongest measure is target success rate at 56%, 56th of 169 (the average is 51%). His weakest is yards per target at 4.9, 149th of 169 (the average is 7.6).
Season production
Why it matters. Totals reward staying healthy and getting the ball; per-game numbers show how much he really carries each week. His receiving yards per game, 14, ranks 121st among 169 ranked tight ends.
Against every tight end
Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of tight end he is. Among ranked tight ends he sits, on average, in the 41st percentile for volume, 37th for efficiency and 33rd for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 8 games, Seamus Gilmartin's best came in week 7 against Holy Cross and his quietest in week 10 against Columbia.
When it matters
Why it matters. Plenty of players produce in easy situations; the ones who keep it up on third down and against good teams are the ones coaches trust.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. Where and how a player makes his plays shows how his team uses him and what a defense has to take away.
National and conference
Why it matters. A national rank shows how a player stacks up beyond his own league, where the competition can be very different. Seamus Gilmartin is 66th of 136 FCS tight ends and 9th of 12 in the Ivy. Next up nationally is Jaron Kelley of Delaware State, 0.02 ahead on the index.
Career
Why it matters. Past seasons show whether this year is a breakout, a steady climb or a step back. His best season by the Player Index was 2025 at Harvard, 24th of 378 tight ends.
Tight ends like him
Why it matters. Comparing a player with his closest statistical matches puts his season in context beyond the rankings. His closest match this season is Gus Donnerberg of Idaho.
