Tre Hoskins brings rare size and versatility to Northwestern’s defensive front
Tre Hoskins is a 2026 Northwestern defensive lineman who stands out for his frame, multi-sport power, and unusual versatility—he has lined up at tight end, defensive end, and long snapper, and has also been a strong shot-put thrower. In the 2026 recruiting cycle, he was an unranked prospect in some services but earned a Power Four offer and chose Northwestern, which suggests developmental upside rather than instant polish. At 6-foot-5 and around 285 pounds, he looks like a classic “toolbox” lineman: big, athletic, and built for coaching up.
