Jake Boust brings blue-collar TE value: reliable blocker, special-teams grinder, and hometown Bulldog
In the 2024 season, Jake Boust appeared in 12 games with seven starts for Fresno State, adding three catches for 20 yards while serving as a key special-teams contributor and a trusted piece in protection.[1][7] He’s not a volume-stat tight end, but that’s the point: Boust’s value is in the dirty work—run blocking, pass protection, and doing the unglamorous stuff coaches love. Fresno State has also described him as a critical part of the tight ends room and a “thunder and lightning” complement, which screams dependable, physical, team-first fit.[13]
