A standout tight end from the 2026 class relished his visit to Ohio State last weekend.
Four-star Iowa prospect Evan Jacobson returned to Columbus for the first time since June and attended his first Buckeyes gameday experience. This matchup was against his home state team, the Iowa Hawkeyes.
“It was a good visit and good to get back on campus for the second time,” Jacobson told Eleven Warriors. “It was good to be back around the whole staff and talk with them all again. Getting to see a gameday environment was sweet. Tight ends wise, I loved the way they were used and the amount of 12 personnel I saw. Wherever the tight end is at on the field, in-line, in the slot or in the backfield, the 12 personnel they used in that game was sweet and the fans really showed out.”
Jacobson said he enjoyed conversing with tight ends coach Keenan Bailey on the visit and estimates he speaks with him around once a week.
“He just told me he hopes I can see myself being a Buckeye,” Jacobson said of his conversation with Bailey. “He likes what I’ve been doing this season and he loves watching my film. We talk quite a bit and he’s always giving me pointers and stuff like that. We talk all the time and it was good to be back around the staff.”
The last time Jacobson was on campus, he worked out in front of Bailey at a recruiting camp and earned an offer from the Buckeyes.
“It was definitely big-time,” Jacobson said of earning the offer. “It was something I was super excited about. A program like Ohio State is obviously a super big-time program, so when that happened I was totally excited.”
Per 247Sports’ composite rankings, Jacobson is considered the No. 334 prospect and the No. 18 tight end in the 2026 class. He said he considers himself a versatile tight end capable of both blocking and pass-catching.
