Tanner Koziol

22-Year-Old Tight EndTE
Jacksonville Jaguars
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Koziol, a rookie fifth-round pick, is the catch-first counterpart to second-round pick Nate Boerkircher, who made just 38 catches across his entire college career. Koziol, meanwhile, had four straight seasons with at least 34 receptions for Ball State (2022-24) and Houston (2025), peaking his final two years with receiving lines of 94-839-8 and 74-727-6. The 23-year-old is a converted wide receiver, sporting an unusually lanky frame (6-foot-7, 247) by TE standards. His Combine workouts -- 4.7 40, 36.5-inch vertical, 122-inch broad jump -- were all solid, but not elite, leaving Koziol in a position where he may need to improve on special teams to stick around on Jacksonville's active roster. He'll start off behind Brenton Strange, at the very least, with Boerkircher and Quintin Morris also competing for TE snaps. Read Past Outlooks

Coach's Decision

Koziol (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Koziol is once again a healthy scratch. The tight end is the odd man out in a position room that consists of Brenton Strange, Nate Boerkircher and Quintin Morris.

Stock rising early in training camp
TEJacksonville Jaguars
August 1, 2026
John Shipley of SI.com lists Koziol as one of the Jaguars rookies whose stock is rising following the first few practices of training camp.
ANALYSIS
Koziol was selected by the Jaguars in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the second tight end taken by Jacksonville after Nate Boerkircher in the second round. Brenton Strange is still the TE1, but the Jaguars are seeing what they have in Koziol by giving him plenty of reps with the first-team offense. Koziol has answered the call so far, and he'll have a great chance to audition for a consistent role in the offense when the pads come on in practice.
