Jake Cox brings veteran tight-end grit, leadership, and red-zone value for Idaho
In the 2025 season, Idaho’s Jake Cox was a 6-foot-3, 245-pound senior tight end and one of the Vandals’ most seasoned leaders, even being named a team captain[2][11]. He returned healthy after missing most of the previous season with a knee injury and was described by Idaho’s staff as a “playmaker,” which matters more than raw box-score flash[14]. His value shows up in reliability, toughness, and experience: in the 2025 season he logged 10 catches for 99 yards and 2 touchdowns, building on a 2024 line of 4 catches, 48 yards, and 2 scores[4][8].
