John Juppe brings rare TE size to Bucknell’s 2026 mix
In the 2026 season, Bucknell freshman tight end John Juppe is a big-bodied target at 6-foot-4, 235 pounds with early-career buzz built more on projection than production so far. He arrived from Archbishop Spalding in Crofton, Md., and profiles as a classic developmental TE: length, frame, and room to grow into the Patriot League game. There’s no current stat line or public awards surge yet, so the value here is upside—if your team wants a young pass-catching project with red-zone potential and physical traits that jump off the page, he’s the kind of player worth monitoring.
