Tight Ends

Sorry, no pics. But lets talk about the Tight End depth chart and the expected roles this upcoming season. There has been a lot of chatter about using TEs more. We have definitely recruited a bunch of them. We saw them used a lot last year in several different roles.

Roster:
Josh Ford
Danny Lewis
Kaleb Edwards
Marshall Pritchett
Mack Sutter
Jay Lindsey
Jack Sammarco

What do we know about these guys? Not a lot of games played in this group, but there is some size. Danny Lewis is still around and maybe he can get healthy. He has always been a solid blocker and has the most time in our program, by far. But what is his injury status? Josh Ford has gotten high praise from spring camp. I think he is more of an unsung hero type. Not somebody I expect to be featured in the passing game but will probably be moved all over the formation and expected to win assignments. Edwards has great size and made some plays last year. But he needs to be bigger, stronger, meaner.

Mack Sutter is a guy i have my eye on. I havent heard anything on him yet but he has great size and pedigree. Not sure if a freshman can crack this rotation but he might be a dude in the future. Who else am I missing? Didnt we bring in a half dozen walk-ons? Any diamonds in the rough?

What are yall's thoughts on this position? NFL offenses are using more and more 2TE sets. I dont know if we have NFL talent there, but we might. Cuevas was a difference maker last year. Somebody needs to step up and get some of those targets. Who is it gonna be?
