JT Taggart brings rare size and vertical upside to Maryland’s tight end room
Taggart is a high-upside **true freshman** TE for Maryland who already has the frame NFL teams love at **6'7"** and the athletic profile to stress defenses vertically. In 2025, he mainly helped on special teams and was still buried in the depth chart, so the current value is more projection than production[4][1]. His appeal is the mismatch profile: long target radius, strong catch traits, and enough speed/agility to develop into a red-zone problem if his blocking and route detail keep improving[2][6].
