Nick True is a big, young Illinois State TE with untapped red-zone upside
True is a 6-foot-5, 240-pound sophomore tight end for Illinois State who already has an interception-worthy frame for the position and a small but efficient 2025 college sample: 1 catch, 3 yards, and 1 touchdown. His appeal is less about volume right now and more about projection—he offers size, catch radius, and obvious red-zone value, plus the kind of physical profile teams like to mold into a reliable in-line or move TE. The main question is consistency and role expansion, but if you want a developmental tight end with scoring potential, he’s a reasonable fit.
