Big-bodied BYU tight end with power-TE upside and a tough path back
Jackson Kaka is a 6-foot-4, 241-pound tight end whose college profile has long been built around size, blocking ability, and versatility—traits highlighted in his recruiting evaluations and BYU roster bio from the 2015 season. He played only briefly for BYU after transferring from New Mexico State and later shifted to rugby, so the main takeaway is projection: when he was in the football pipeline, he looked like a physical, multi-sport athlete with sturdy hands and enough frame to help in the run game. For a team, the fit is about upside and physicality, not proven recent production.
