Army TE Jackson Blanchard brings size, service-academy fit, and upside
Jackson Blanchard is a 6-foot-4, 245-pound freshman tight end at Army West Point in the 2026 season, which is exactly the kind of frame that can become a nasty matchup in the Black Knights’ physical offense.[2][7] He arrived with recruiting buzz as a committed TE prospect and is valued for his length, weight-room-ready build, and fit with Army’s disciplined, blue-collar identity rather than flashy stat production.[1][2] Why care? He looks like a long-term development piece with real blocking and red-zone upside, the kind of player who can make a team sturdier and meaner. If you like tough, system-fitting tight ends, he’s worth a peek.[1][2][7]
