With the 92nd overall selection the Jets went to the USHL to grab Edison Engle in the 6th round. The Illinois product is a 6’2 174 pound left-shot defenceman as per Elite Prospects who is committed to play in the OHL next season for Brantford Bulldogs and then in the NCAA with Ohio State in 2026-27.
Elite prospects describe him as:
An agile skater with speed-retaining transitions, Engle has the mobility to keep up with – and eliminate – high-skill puck carriers. He lands pokes just as opponents expose the puck, pressures early to guide opponents to the outside, and has the speed to make up ground on opponents. Once Engle gets the puck, he’s always looking to create. He fakes one pass before finding another, uses the middle and cross-ice options, and shows a lot of patience to wait for lanes to open. –
Where he was projected in the consolidated rankings of Elite Prospects:
Ranked #72 by ELITEPROSPECTS.COM
Ranked #135 by MCKEEN’S HOCKEY
Ranked #100 by FCHOCKEY
Ranked #78 by NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING (NA Skaters)
Ranked #187 by DRAFT PROSPECTS HOCKEY
Ranked #134 by RECRUIT SCOUTING
