Akron freshman TE Khalil Witherspoon brings rare size-speed upside
Khalil Witherspoon is an intriguing Akron newcomer because his profile is built on upside: at 6-foot-6, he pairs long-frame mismatch potential with strong explosiveness metrics in EA Sports College Football 26, and he arrived after a productive Pleasantville HS career that included 495 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024. He was a three-star recruit and top-20 player in New Jersey, which signals real developmental pedigree. The big question is polish and on-field availability, since Akron’s roster entry lists him as a freshman and noted he did not play in 2024, so he looks more like a long-term project than an immediate plug-and-play weapon.[2][5][3]
