Jake Houseworth brings versatile, physical upside to Cal’s tight end room
Houseworth enters Cal as a consensus 3-star tight end with a versatile, multi-sport background and a physical profile that already stands out at 6-3, 225. In high school, he showed rare two-way utility for a TE prospect, rushing for 778 yards and catching 13 passes in 2023, which points to run-after-catch ability, contact balance, and toughness. He’s not a polished stat-sheet producer yet, but the value is his projection: a hard-nosed, developmental tight end who can help in blocking, special teams, and mismatches if his receiving game keeps growing.
