In a state that's produced elite tight ends, Iowa has a riser in Evan Jacobson.
Jacobson, the No. 4 recruit in his home state, received a bump to the No. 22 spot in the tight end rankings for the Class of 2026. Among his top schools is a bordering-state program: Missouri.
The Tigers hosted Jacobson for a third time in the past seven months, as the three-star made his first visit since early September. But what separated this visit from trips in the past was the time spent with head coach Eli Drinkwitz and tight ends coach Derham Cato.
"I think just really the family concept and the brotherhood compared to other programs is something that was really big and very clear to me while I was there," Jacobson said.
