Brady Goken brings size, blocking juice, and academic consistency to Illinois State’s TE room
Brady Goken is a 6-foot-3, 235-pound sophomore tight end for Illinois State who arrived with a proven high-school profile: 21 catches for 253 yards in his senior year, plus strong academic marks and a reputation as a blocking-first TE who can also chip in as a receiver. His differentiator is the combo package—physical enough to help in-line, polished enough to contribute in the pass game, and coachable enough to fit a program that values dependable role players. With no recorded college stats yet, he reads more like a developmental upside pick than a finished product.
