Jacob Francis brings North Dakota a pro-sized, versatile TE profile
At 6-foot-4, 255 pounds, Jacob Francis gives North Dakota a built-to-handle-contact tight end with the frame to play in-line and the size to create matchup problems underneath. He is listed as a sophomore on the Fighting Hawks roster, which suggests he still has developmental upside rather than a finished product. The key question for a team is ceiling: his value is less about flashy stat lines and more about whether his size, toughness, and growth can translate into a dependable all-around TE role.
