Illinois TE Transfers to Ohio After Limited Action, High School Dual-Threat Gem
Freshman tight end Jake Furtney, a 6-4, 235-pound sophomore transfer from Illinois to Ohio Bobcats (committed Jan 9, 2026), flashed early promise with his 2024 collegiate debut vs. Central Michigan but saw no stats in 2025; his high school dominance at St. Charles North—536 receiving yards and 5 TDs offensively plus 32 solo tackles on D—marks him as a versatile, athletic mismatch weapon with NFL upside. Raw but explosive, he's a high-motor fit for teams needing a developmental TE who blocks fiercely and stretches seams—keep an eye on his 2026 breakout!
