Jackson Whitacre is a versatile, physical tight end with upside at Delaware
Whitacre enters Delaware as a 6-foot-4, 242-pound tight end with a two-way high school background, giving him a physical edge as a blocker and a receiving profile that fits an all-around role. Delaware’s roster lists him as a sophomore, and he did not see game action in 2024, so his current value is more projection than production. What makes him interesting is the combination of size, defensive-line toughness, and proven high-school playmaking, including 30 catches and 19 sacks in his prep career. He looks like a fit for a team that values developmental tight ends with room to grow.
