Austin Peay's Program-Defining TE with 132-Yard Career Game
Jackson Head, a 6'1", 227-lb junior tight end from Woodstock, GA, is Austin Peay's most explosive receiving weapon at the position, recently shattering a 26-year program record with 7 catches for 132 yards and a TD against Abilene Christian—the first TE to hit 100 receiving yards in a game since 1999 [5]. While his 2024 stats show modest volume (3 rec, 20 yds in late season) [1], his differentiator is elite intensity and big-play capability in critical moments, proving he can dominate single coverage. He is an active, high-motor player who offers a unique fit for teams needing a physical TE who can also function as a primary slot receiver, though he is still developing consistent year-over-year production [4].
