Jakobie Hughes gives EKU a reliable red-zone TE with real junior-year production
Jakobie Hughes is a 6-foot-4, 234-250-pound senior tight end for Eastern Kentucky who posted 6 catches for 56 yards and 1 touchdown in the 2025 season, showing steady if modest pass-catching value. His differentiator is size with function: he looks like a true in-line TE who can also chip in as a target, not just a body on the roster. He isn’t a headline-grabber statistically, but he offers useful depth, red-zone utility, and a dependable frame for blocking-heavy systems—more “glue guy” than volume star.
