6-foot-7 Wake Forest TE Max Tillfeldt Retsler brings international pedigree and upside
Max Tillfeldt Retsler entered Wake Forest in 2026 as a 6-foot-7, 240-pound freshman tight end from Stockholm, Sweden, and was listed as a three-star prospect and the No. 7 player out of Sweden; Wake Forest also notes he captained Sweden’s national team and gained experience at the RIG American Football Academy. In the 2026 season, public stat pages currently show no game log or statistical production yet, so his value is more about long-term upside than box-score output. He looks like a developmental fit for a program that can mold length, reach, and international toughness into a mismatch TE.
