Army tight end Joshua Lingenfelter heads to rookie camp with Jacksonville Jaguars
Army tight end Joshua Lingenfelter is the third Black Knight to latch on with an NFL team ahead of rookie training camps.
The graduating senior has been signed as an undrafted free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lingenfelter is 6-foot-3, 250 pounds and hails from Panama City, Fla., where he was an all-state performer. He was a product of the U.S. Military Academy Prep School and saw action over four seasons with Army.
Lingenfelter proved more of a blocking lineman than pass-catching receiver – he had one catch in 2021, three in 2022 and one in 2023 (against Syracuse).
Following the conclusion of the NFL Draft on Saturday, linebackers Jimmy Ciarlo and Leo Lowin signed with the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers, respectively.
Army currently has five active players in the NFL, all as undrafted free agents. Outside linebacker Andre Carter II was the most recent, signing with the Minnesota Vikings following the 2023 NFL Draft. Linebacker Jon Rhattigan is with the Seattle Seahawks; linebacker Cole Christiansen is with the Kansas Cit Chiefs; defensive back Elijah Riley is with the Pittsburgh Penguins; and, lineman Brett Toth is with the Philadelphia Eagles.
