Jaylen King is an early-volume freshman TE with reliable hands and room to grow
In the 2026 season, Mississippi Valley State freshman tight end Jaylen King has already become part of the passing game, posting 6 catches for 32 yards through early September, including a 4-catch, 27-yard opener at Nicholls[3][9]. At 6-foot-2 and 234 pounds, he brings a compact, physical frame and enough receiving usage to suggest the staff trusts him as a quick outlet and chain-mover[1][4]. He looks like a good fit for teams wanting a young, willing tight end who can develop into a sturdier all-around piece rather than just a catch-and-fall-down target[12].
