Dylan Drake brings rare size and a sneaky résumé to Western Illinois at tight end
In the 2023 season at Heidelberg, Dylan Drake flashed as a receiving tight end with 13 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown, and he also logged a pair of kick blocks in his college career—nice little bonus chaos for any special teams coordinator. At 6-foot-6 and 255 pounds in 2025, he gives Western Illinois a big-bodied, catch-point target with real frame-driven upside. He didn’t appear in a game in 2025, so the evaluation leans more on his earlier production and physical tools than current box-score noise.
