Dayton freshman TE Jaden Workman brings size, pass-rush grit, and two-way upside
Jaden Workman enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-4, 235-pound freshman for Dayton, and his best calling card is versatility: he was listed as a tight end/defensive end while arriving after a 2025 senior year with 35 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. That kind of edge and physicality usually shows up fast on special teams and in heavy packages, so he’s a name to watch if your roster values toughness, motor, and room-to-grow upside. In short: not just a body, but a high-energy chess piece.
