CJ Tolbert III brings veteran tight-end size and special-teams grit to Jackson State
CJ Tolbert III is a 5th-year, 6-foot-2, 261-pound tight end at Jackson State in the 2026 season, arriving after a stop at Eastern Kentucky and previous production at Bakersfield College, where he logged 24 catches for 255 yards and 2 touchdowns in 8 games. He looks like the kind of TE who helps a roster in the trenches and on the field in multiple ways: big-bodied, experienced, and battle-tested, with enough receiving history to matter without needing the offense to be built around him. If you want a steady, physical fit with mature depth-chart value, he’s a sneaky solid add.
