Jake Wilson opens 2026 as Wyoming’s big-play TE spark
In the 2026 season, Wyoming sophomore TE Jake Wilson has already flashed mismatch potential, leading the Cowboys with 2 catches for 51 yards in the opener, including a 29-yard reception and an eye-opening 25.5 yards per catch[1][2]. At 6-foot-5, 243 pounds, he brings receiver-like explosiveness in a tight end body, and reports say he was elevated into the starting role entering the season[1][3]. His value goes beyond box-score pop: after missing the end of 2025 with a knee infection, he returned as a full spring participant, which makes his early production feel even more encouraging for a team needing a vertical seam threat[3].
