Javon Charles gives Illinois State a red-zone mismatch at tight end
In the 2025 season, Javon Charles was an All-MVFC honorable mention after starting all 17 games and posting 19 catches for 168 yards and 3 touchdowns, with Illinois State listing him as a senior TE at 6-foot-5 and 245-255 pounds[2][3][7][13]. He stands out as a reliable, physical target who can finish drives, and his 24-yard grab in the 2024 postseason showed he can create after the catch when the Redbirds need a chain-moving play[11]. If a team wants a big, experienced tight end with proven chemistry in the offense, he’s a strong fit.
