Eddie Whiting is a jumbo freshman TE with legit upside in East Lansing
In the 2026 season, Eddie Whiting enters Michigan State as a 6-foot-6, 254-pound true freshman tight end who already drew spring-ball buzz for looking like he belonged physically, not just like a future project. He was a top-25 national tight end prospect by ESPN and a top-60 tight end by 247Sports, and he brings the kind of size, recruiting pedigree, and multi-sport athletic background that can stress safeties and linebackers. Why care? He’s a classic high-ceiling TE who could outplay his ranking fast if the polish catches up to the frame.
