6'6" TE with mismatch upside at Lindenwood
Jack Hessler enters 2026 as a freshman tight end for Lindenwood at 6'6", 230 pounds, bringing the kind of frame that can stress defenses in the red zone and on the seam.[1][2] His high school production at Lindbergh showed two-way toughness—24 catches for 339 yards and 2 TDs on offense, plus 3 sacks on defense—hinting at competitiveness and a physical edge that coaches love.[4] He looks like a developmental play with intriguing size, versatility, and local St. Louis roots, though he’s still early in his college career and hasn’t established college stats yet.[1][11]
