Nicholls’ 6-foot-5 TE Jason Malbrue brings size, utility, and steady opening-week production
In the 2026 season, Jason Malbrue has already shown he can contribute as a reliable, in-line tight end with a 6-foot-5, 225-pound frame and an opening-game line of 1 catch for 12 yards in Nicholls’ win over MVSU[1][2]. The appeal is more than the box score: he gives the Colonels a big catch radius, red-zone target potential, and a physical profile that can help in both pass protection and possession routes[1][3]. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a dependable, low-drama TE who does the dirty work and can sneak into plays when defenses relax.
