blocking-first Houston TE with reliable snaps and red-zone pop
Jayden York is a **6-foot-4, 245-pound** Houston tight end whose value shows up in the details: he started all 11 games in 2024, posted a **72.6 PFF pass-block grade** that ranked eighth among Big 12 tight ends, and graded as Houston’s **top offense and run-blocking TE** in 2025 before an injury cut his season short.[8][9] He has shown enough receiving ability to matter—career **8 catches, 61 yards, 1 TD**—but his real differentiator is being a dependable in-line blocker with enough athletic upside to be a complementary target, not a volume receiver.[1][6]
