The biggest TE in the state is DeForest’s Jackson Accuardi Jackson Accuardi 6'7" | 230 lbs | TE DeForest | 2025 State WI who checks in at 6’7″ and now 230 lbs. The big man has a well balanced skill set. He is effective in the passing and rushing attacks. Jackson also is used out wide and in the traditional TE positions. Jackson seems to catch a lot of DBs off guard with his deceptive speed. His long strides send him streaking past DBs on deep routes and after the catch on quick passes. The big man is nimble and  agile for his size and that allows him to be slippery after the catch. Jackson offers a massive catch radius and the ability to go rip it away in traffic. Accuardi is also very impressive in the run game. He has a huge frame, yet we see him use great knee and ankle flexibility to be able to play low and still get the leverage advantage despite dwarfing his opponents. Once he is underneath his man, Jackson is able to drive him wherever he wants him. I highly recommend the film below.

Stats: 1 Reception, 14 YardsrnStats don’t come close to telling the story here. First off, Jackson is one of the most impressively built TEs I have seen. Despite weighing 225-230 lbs, Jackson looks like he can easily add another 30 lbs at the next level. His arm length is nothing short of elite and the soft hands allow him to catch the ball away form his body and provide his QB with possibly the largest catch radius in WI. Those long arms were major strengths in his run blocking too. He always was able to make first contact, control his man, and position himself to have the leverage advantage. Jackson showed off power as a blocker. We saw a lot of double teams including him that easily removed DL from the front seven. Accuardi is just scratching the surface on his potentail. FBS level talent.

We don’t usually see Jackson “out wide”, but you’re out of our mind if you think I’m not including the 6’7″ 220 lbs ’25 TE in an article highlighting the most dominant size mismatches in the state. Jackson is quickly rising up recruiting boards since 2022, and he will be making a big jump when our updated rankings debut. The incoming junior has a very well rounded TE skill set. He is reliable as a blocker in the run game, getting consistent push off the line. As a receiver is where he is a massive mismatch. Jackson’s size alone creates enough separation between the ball and DBs. Add in his smooth body control and route running and you get a student athlete who should have college coaches pumped to build a relationship with him. Big things are ahead for this mismatch at the TE position.
