Duke’s Jake Taylor brings reliable size, toughness, and steady growth at tight end
In the 2025 season, Jake Taylor entered as Duke’s returning starting tight end, bringing a 6-5, 240-pound frame, 635 career snaps, and a reputation for toughness after earning Duke’s Tough Award in 2024. His game is built on dependable hands, blocking value, and steady usage rather than splash plays: he has 12 career receptions for 88 yards through 2025, with a career-high five catches at Wake Forest in 2024. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a physical, assignment-sound TE who can stay on the field.
