JMU’s versatile red-zone chess piece
In the 2025 season, Lacota Dippre gave James Madison a useful blend of size, toughness, and mismatch value: he posted 17 catches for 192 yards and 3 touchdowns, added 4 rushing attempts for 49 yards and a score, and earned Honorable Mention All-Sun Belt recognition[2][3][7]. At 6-foot-4, 253 pounds, he’s more than a static tight end—he brings physicality, some run-after-catch juice, and enough versatility to move around the formation, which is why coaches kept finding ways to get him touches[2][6][7].
