he had a good spring. caught 4 passes in the o and w game. this guy has good hands and is able to break a tackle of two. i think he has better hands than cam. i think he'll see a lot of action this fall. good kid, too.

He looked really good in the O&W game. I think he's going to be a really good TE for UT and will see the field quite a bit this fall.

I'm glad someone else felt that way. Wasn't trying to dog him, as he did look pretty good.

Kid looked solid in the O&W game. Was wide open on all catches for some reason. Don't know if he beat his defender down at the line or if they thought he wouldn't be thrown to. Big target and good hands. He did kinda remind me of Phoebe Buffay when hen ran the ball though.

Coaches keep saying we have 3 good tight ends this year with Clear, Rivera and Downs!

From what I've seen, he looks better than Cam Clear IMO.

Coming out of high school Brendan had been timed under 4.7 in the 40 plus was a slam dunk finalist at a national level bball tournament. Regardless of how he looks getting up to speed Brendan will see the checkerboard a lot before he's done. With a little luck and more hard work he could be a future 3rd round pick.

Listed as a FB on the depth chart today. He is going to be very versatile as a TE or FB. He has good enough hands to catch the ball lining up in the backfield.
