Expert Analysis

Eliot Clough

Prep Redzone Scout

Recently committed to Texas A&M, Evan Jacobson Evan Jacobson 6'7" | 220 lbs | TE Waukee | 2026 State IA is back for his final season of high school ball with Waukee. A big presence on the football field, Jacobson’s catch-radius is ridiculous, given his long arms and 6’7″ frame. That frame allows him to get up and under opposing linebackers and defensive ends’ pads and manhandle them as a blocker, too.

Throw in his athleticism on top of those traits as a dual-sport athlete that will also play basketball for the Aggies, and Jacobson is a matchup nightmare for any opponent in the state of Iowa. He caught several passes against City High, and should be in line for a massive year as Bakker’s go-to target.

Jacobson was Prep Redzone Iowa’s highest-ranked uncommitted senior prospect at the July 2025 update. It’s not because his options were insignificant. Jacobson officially visited Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Missouri, Stanford and Iowa State. He finished up with the Irish and Cyclones. Jacobson has been deliberate about his recruiting process and continued playing high-level AAU basketball this summer. The interest from top schools for football speaks to his tremendous upside on the gridiron. His athleticism is at a very high level athleticism as evidenced by him being a first-team all-state hooper. Jacobson runs well with a frame capable of adding good weight in college without the loss of agility and quickness. He has long arms and can jump. He could end up being an absolute nightmare in the red zone.
