high-upside, blue-collar Drake tight end with strong prep production and a defensive-recruit twist
In the 2025 season, Jason Samis did not see game action for Drake, so the on-field sample is still empty—but the profile is intriguing: a 6-foot-3, 230-pound sophomore TE with a bruising background as a Notre Dame Prep running back/fullback, plus a reputation for captain-level leadership and academic discipline. That combo suggests a physical, assignment-sound player who can help in the run game and grow into a versatile piece if his receiving game develops. If you want toughness, versatility, and a developmental matchup chess piece, he’s worth a look.
