Rutgers TE with Elite Size and Big-Play Potential
Jackson Gister, a 6'6", 251-pound redshirt sophomore tight end for Rutgers, stands out with elite size and explosive receiving potential—evidenced by three catches for 106 yards against La Salle in 2024. Though his 2025 stats (1 rec, 11 yards) reflect a developing role, his Academic All-Big Ten recognition and Calvert Hall pedigree highlight discipline, intelligence, and intensity. Gister’s intensity level is high, his personality is dedicated and modern, and he shows promise as a big-play threat despite limited current usage. He’s a strong fit for teams needing a physical, high-ceiling TE who can grow into a key offensive weapon.
