Nate Boerkircher News: Picked by Jacksonville
The Jaguars selected Boerkircher in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 56th overall.
One of the older players in the draft class, the 24-year-old Boerkircher spent five of the first six years of his college career with Nebraska before finishing up at Texas A&M in 2025. During his lone season with the Aggies, Boerkircher started in eight of 13 appearances while logging 19 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns. He wasn't involved much in the passing game during his time with the Cornhuskers, but Boerkircher established himself as a reliable target who could fight through coverage to complete catches this past season. Brenton Strange is slated as the Jaguars' top tight end following a career year in 2025, so Boerkircher will likely vie with Quintin Morris and Hunter Long for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.
