The Seattle Seahawks will look decidedly different in 2025, in particular, on offense. In addition to hiring new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, they have a new starting quarterback in Sam Darnold.
The Seahawks traded superstar wide receiver DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers and released longtime veteran Tyler Lockett, who went on to sign with the Tennessee Titans.
Former Los Angeles Rams MVP Cooper Kupp signed a three-year, $45 million contract with Seattle in March, and they added two-time Super Bowl champ Marquez Valdez-Scantling. While Kupp missed 18 games over the past three seasons due to injury, the Seahawks are banking on Kupp, 32, to be their new No. 1 wide receiver this season.
Darnold has another major weapon in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the No. 20 overall pick from the 2023 NFL draft. Smith-Njigba looks to build off his success last season, where he recorded 100 receptions for 1,30 yards and six touchdowns. Set to be the fourth wide receiver on the 53-man roster, Jake Bobo, who first signed with the franchise as an undrafted free agent in 2023.

Last season, Bobo registered 13 receptions on 17 targets for 107 yards and one touchdown. However, he could have a bigger role under Kubiak this year. While fans always want “more Bobo,” the 26-year-old needs to prove he’s worth a new deal as he enters the final year of his contract.
While Bobo’s future in Seattle remains unclear, when it comes to the wide receiver’s personal life, he’s set.
Bobo revealed he’s engaged to Mackenzie Mae Cole. The couple shared the news in a joint post on Instagram and wrote, “It was always you. 07.06.25.”
Smith-Njigba commented, “Let’s goo!! ❤️.” The Seahawks wrote, “Congrats!!” Seahawks tight end AJ Barner added, “Lessss gooooo, congratulations 🫶,” while wide receiver Cody White commented, “Congrats BOBO🔥🔥.”
Mae, a former NCAA volleyball star and 2021 ACC Defensive Player of the Year, like Bobo, started her collegiate career at Duke. She transferred to UCLA ahead of the 2022 season, as did Bobo, where he played for the Bruins football team before joining the Seahawks. According to her LinkedIn profile, she graduated with a BA in Psychology at Duke before earning her Master of Education at UCLA.
Bobo recorded 817 yards and seven touchdowns in his lone season at UCLA.
Bobo is not the only member of the Seahawks offense ready to tie the knot. Darnold proposed to his girlfriend, Katie Hoofnagle, on July 5. The couple announced the news on Instagram in a shared post and simply captioned the post, “YES!!!!!”
Darnold, who signed a three-year, $100.5 million contract with Seattle, got down on one knee in Dana Point, California. Hoofnagle, who’s dated Darnold since at least 2023, shared a tribute for the quarterback’s 28th birthday last month.
She wrote, “Amidst the chaos of our everyday lives, every day spent with you is filled with an abundance of peace, laughter, presence, joy, and love. Here’s to another trip around the sun sharing good meals, good music, and good company. Happy 28th birthday to my better half, I love you more 🤍.”
