Big-bodied Texas Tech TE still waiting for a true breakout
Jack Esparza is a 6-4, 245-pound fifth-year tight end at Texas Tech who finally saw game action in the 2025 season, appearing in three games after mostly working on scout team and special teams. His value is in size, developmental upside, and versatility — Texas Tech used him on kickoff coverage and at tight end, which hints at a willing, team-first player with a higher ceiling than his stat sheet shows. He’s the kind of low-drama, high-effort depth piece coaches like to keep around.
