Jonah Oquendo Jonah Oquendo 6'3" | 229 lbs | TE/DL Taft School | 2026 State New E showcases an impressive blend of size and athleticism at 6’3.5″ and 229 lbs, solidifying his place among the top recruits in the New England region. Offensively, he excels as a Tight-End, demonstrating an ability to create space and run precise routes. His reliable hands make him a formidable target for quarterbacks. Defensively, he transitions effectively to Defensive End, exhibiting agility and explosive speed off the line of scrimmage, particularly in pass-rushing situations.
Though his last season was impacted by injury, Jonah’s potential remains high, and we anticipate great things as he returns to form. His verbal offer from Howard University underscores his talent and recruitment appeal. Continued monitoring of his upcoming performances is essential, as he has the potential to elevate further in the rankings.

Jonah has impressive combination of size and athleticism. Offensively, he projects as a TE because of his size. He creates space and runs clean routes. Hands catcher of the football. Jonah is a big target to throw too. Defensively, Jonah plays DE. He is effective at rushing the passer. Shows a good burst and quickness off the LOS. Jonah is coming off an injury shortened season so I am looking forward to watch more game film on him this fall.

His quickness stood out and grabbed my attention. rnHe carries a solid frame with more room for potential growth. He was solid during his drill period and did everything with obvious burst and speed. Has length in his arms and legs and uses them to his advantage.
