Jackson West brings blocking first, sneaky-reliable TE value to WKU
In the 2025 season, Jackson West appeared in all 13 games for Western Kentucky, posted 8 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown, and paired that with elite blocking marks — a 77.5 pass-blocking grade and 73.0 run-blocking grade, both among the nation’s best for tight ends. He fits as a tone-setter more than a volume receiver: physical, dependable, and useful in multiple personnel groups. After an injury-marred stretch at Florida State, his durability, special-teams background, and captain-level trust make him a smart, low-drama fit for a team that values blocking and versatility over flash.
