I was surprised Tennison got in. Even more with James. I know with Forristal out for the year, we needed more depth at TE. But I was hoping one of the true freshmen would redshirt.

The 2017 class could go down as one of the best in school history.

All of the ones that have played so far look great.

Then you got guys like Ray, Mathis, Cowan, Shavers, McDonald that haven't even played yet.

Looks like the kicker and Baker might be the only two who don't pan out.

I'm just glad we signed 2 guys in last class so that we have enough of the "backfield pieces" to run Daboll's system...if you've noticed he likes movement with those guys and they have to be punishing blockers

I've been really impressed so far with most players he has utilized a number of different ways out of the backfield

I'm also tired of scraping the bottom of the bucket at the TE position when the starter gets hurt and the guy coming in is a lot of the time is asked to block a legit pass rusher who he's giving up size and weight or speed to, it's good to see those young guys get experience IMO
