Reliable, physical Jackrabbit tight end with proven early-career production
Skyler Cavanaugh is a proven South Dakota State tight end who has already shown he can contribute in-game, playing in all 14 contests as a true freshman and ranking second among the Jackrabbits’ tight ends with 12 catches in 2021; ESPN lists him with 1 catch for 9 yards, reflecting his limited but real receiving role. His value is less about flashy volume and more about dependability, positional versatility, and the kind of steady, disciplined tight end play that fits a winning program’s identity. He looks like a fit for teams that want a trustworthy, development-friendly TE who can grow into a bigger role.[1][3]
