A popular podcast has ranked Spartans tight end Jack Velling as one of the best in the Big Ten for his position.
Both of the hosts on The Big Ten Huddle podcast included Velling as one of their top three tight ends in the conference this upcoming season. Velling came in at No. 2 in the Big Ten by Jon “JR” Rhoades, and No. 3 by Zack Gugenheim.
In 2024, Velling tallied 36 catches for 411 yards and one touchdown, posting a career most catches in a season. In total, over his three year college career, Velling has posted 81 catches for 1,130 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Velling has received quite a bit of praise this offseason, with Pro Football Focus considering him one of the best returning tight ends in the country. Michigan State’s tight ends tandem of Velling and Michael Masunas were ranked as the top tight ends group in the Big Ten by Tony Liebert of Bring Me The News earlier this offseason as well.
