big-bodied red-zone TE with proven touchdown juice at UCF
In the 2020 season, Jake Hescock was a useful mismatch piece for UCF, finishing with 10 catches for 53 yards and 3 touchdowns, and in 2021 he appeared in all 12 regular-season games while starting three times at tight end[1][4]. At 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds, his calling card was length and red-zone utility rather than volume production, and UCF’s notes show he scored his first career touchdown on only his second career catch[1][12]. He is a good fit if your team wants a big target who can stress safeties near the goal line; the bigger context is that his career was ultimately cut short by his tragic death in 2022[2].
