Easily. But I'd also use drywall anchors in spots where you have no studs to attach the mount to.

Use the Hilti-style toggles. The ones that have the metal bar with the little zip ties that you break off. Those things will hang an 85” alone with no studs.

Toggler brand are fantastic as well.

I’ve got all sorts of things wall mounted all over the place with just these things. They do an incredibly good job.

Use anchors rated for that weight. Then you don’t even have to worry about the study carrying any weight. Still use the stud tho, to be sure, just in case your drywall breaks or has had previous repairs due to other reasons. Or if someone falls onto your tv or something.

My walls are weird with half the house being built in the 30's, the other half being built in the 80's and one major interior wall previously being an exterior wall. Most of the time my stud finder just goes bonkers. The toggle bolt drywall anchors are my go-to for anything.
