Jeremiah Valdry brings rare kickoff-return juice to Southern’s tight end room
Valdry is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound freshman TE for Southern whose most intriguing trait is his playmaking value beyond the standard tight-end box score: in 2025 he logged 1 catch for 5 yards and also handled kickoff returns, showing versatility and special-teams utility. He previously flashed explosive return ability at Concord, including a 92-yard kickoff return touchdown in 2024, which signals burst, open-field confidence, and game-changing speed. If you need a developmental tight end who can contribute on special teams immediately, he’s the kind of low-volume, high-upside fit worth tracking.
