Converted defensive lineman bringing power to Northwestern State’s tight end room
John Black is a physical, blocker-first tight end for Northwestern State, and in the 2026 season his biggest value is his power in two- and three-TE packages after converting from defensive line[1]. That background shows up in the trenches: he’s built to move bodies, create edges, and help the run game, even if he isn’t a statistics-heavy pass-catcher yet[1]. If your team wants a rugged, assignment-sound TE who can wear down defenses and embrace the dirty work, he fits the mold.
