A scouting report on Texas tight end Jack Endries highlights his experience as a three-year starter and solid receiving skills ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. The profile notes his career statistics and areas for improvement in strength and blocking. Endries transferred from California to Texas for his final college season.
Jack Endries, a redshirt junior tight end for Texas, measures 6-foot-4 5/8 and 245 pounds. He started 38 of 39 games over three seasons, beginning with two years at California (2023-2024) before transferring to Texas in 2025. His career totals include 124 receptions for 1,376 yards at 11.1 yards per reception and 7 touchdowns. In 2025, he recorded 33 catches for 346 yards and 3 touchdowns, averaging 10.5 yards per reception. Earlier, in 2024 at California, he led the team with 623 receiving yards from quarterback Fernando Mendoza and earned Honorable Mention All-ACC honors. As a freshman in 2023, he received First-Team College Football Network Freshman All-America recognition and was California's nominee for the Burlsworth Trophy as the best walk-on player. He also earned an invitation to the East-West Shrine Bowl but left with an unspecified injury, and he was limited in week 3 of 2025 due to an undisclosed injury. From Monte Vista High School in Danville, California, Endries had 77 receptions for 1,055 yards and 15 touchdowns over his junior and senior seasons, plus third-team MaxPreps All-State honors. The scouting report praises his good size, production including a 56-catch sophomore season, versatility in alignments and motion, speed, acceleration, quickness to create separation against off coverage, very good hands for difficult catches, body adjustment, tracking, and blocking in space or pass protection. It notes effectiveness walling off defenders and pushing rushers. Weaknesses include marginal play strength, allowing physical defenders to disrupt routes, inconsistent urgency and hip drop quickness, and lacking physicality or consistent pad level as a run blocker. Overall, Endries projects as an early Day 3 pick with a Steelers Depot grade of 8.1, described as a long-time starter, comparable to Dennis Pitta for his hands and potential against man coverage.
