Jack Endries may not be the biggest name among tight ends yet, but NFL scouts see clear potential in the Texas junior. At 6'4", 240 pounds with 4.68 speed, Endries brings a strong combination of size, athleticism, and technique to the field. With 24 catches for 218 yards and two touchdowns this season, he’s been a steady contributor in a deep Longhorns offense.

He’s excellent at finding open space, settling between defenders, and giving his quarterback a clean, reliable target. His ball skills and awareness stand out; the game slows down for him, and he rarely makes mental mistakes.
While Endries is still developing as a blocker, he has the frame and strength to continue improving. Scouts rank him as the fifth-best tight end in the upcoming class, largely because they see untapped potential. His fundamentals, football IQ, and consistent production give him a high floor, and his athletic traits give him a strong ceiling.
Texas’ offense has leaned on him more as the season progresses, and he’s responded every time. With more opportunities ahead, Endries has a real chance to climb draft boards as evaluators continue to study his tape.
