A source close to former Texas tight Caleb Bluiett tells Horns247 that he’s agreed to a rookie free agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Bluiett was waiting to receive the contract at press time. The source said the deal had been agreed upon and that Bluiett chose to sign with the Jaguars over interest from two other NFL clubs.

Bluiett went back and forth from defensive end to tight end during his Longhorn career before setting into the tight end spot as a junior. The Beaumont West Brook product started seven games at tight end over two seasons, enjoying his best campaign in 2015 when he caught eight passes for 167 yards (20.9 yards per catch) and two touchdowns.

Before finding his niche on offense Bluiett was one of the top pass rushers for the Longhorns in 2014. As a sophomore, Bluiett started five games at defensive end, finishing tied for fifth on the team in sacks (3.5) and sixth in tackles for loss (7).

Though he didn’t do it during his time on the Forty Acres, Bluiett can also provide depth as a long snapper.

Along with his interest from NFL franchises, a source close to Bluiett told Horns247 that he had received interest from a few Major League Baseball clubs about a possible future. The 6-foot-3, 257-pound athlete was an outfielder and pitcher for West Brook.
