No catches in Friday's preseason loss Koziol played 18 snaps (13 on offense, five on special teams) but didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Jaguars' 34-17 preseason loss to the Panthers on Friday.

Impact Koziol and Hunter Long were listed as the Jaguars' starting tight ends for Friday's exhibition contest while both Brenton Strange and Nate Boerkircher observed the game from the sidelines. Koziol, a fifth-round selection of the Jaguars in the 2026 NFL Draft, is competing against Long and Quintin Morris for the TE3 role behind Strange and Boerkircher. Koziol's last in-game opportunity to win that job will come this Friday in the Jaguars' preseason finale against the Buccaneers.

Catchless in preseason debut Koziol didn't catch either of his two targets Saturday in a 24-20 preseason win against the Saints.

Impact Neither of Koziol's targets were particularly well thrown, so his lack of catches shouldn't be a major concern. The rookie fifth-round pick will look to make a louder impact, however, in Jacksonville's remaining preseason contests. Brenton Strange is slated to be the Jaguars' top tight end during the upcoming season, with Koziol and Nate Boerkircher jockeying for the No. 2 and No. 3 slots.

Building early momentum Koziol has been a standout during the early portion of the Jaguars' offseason program, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Impact Koziol, a rookie fifth-round pick, has generated more buzz during spring practices than second-rounder Nate Boerkircher. Tight ends coach Richard Angulo described Koziol as being "a little bit more polished as a pass catcher" and mentioned the rookie's "ball skills and his size and range," at 6-foot-6, 247 pounds. Brenton Strange remains entrenched as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end, and Boerkircher's blocking ability may give him an edge for the No. 2 role, but Koziol is making an early case for opportunities in Liam Coen's offense, which per Garry Smits of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union is expected to feature more multi-TE looks in 2026.
