Well, tight end has been an issue here for a few years. Whether it be talent, coaching, or offensive alignment, I hope to see us get back to using some TE's. Maybe we'll just have to wait for a new QB. Anyway, enjoy the read and let's hear what you think. Go Vols 2020!
2020 Spring Position Preview: Tight End | Rocky Top Insider
"
Seniors: Austin Pope (RS)
Juniors: Princeton Fant (RS)
Sophomores: Jacob Warren (RS)
Freshmen: Jackson Lowe (RS), Sean Brown (RS), Hunter Salmon (RS)
No position on Tennessee’s roster is more unproven than the tight end position in 2020. Not only does the group lose its starter from the last two years, but it has a new position coach as well.
With Brian Niedermeyer moving to the defensive side of the ball to be the inside linebackers coach, Joe Osovet was tabbed Tennessee’s new tight ends coach. Osovet moves to an on-the-field role after spending his first two seasons in Knoxville as UT’s Director of Football Programming. He worked closely behind the scenes with Tennessee’s offense during the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
Prior to moving to Knoxville, Osovet was considered one of the best junior college coaches in the country. Osovet coached 11 NFL players and developed 47 NCAA Division I players as a JUCO head coach at ASA (N.Y.) College and Nassau (N.Y.) Community College, finishing with a combined record of 33-11 with two Northeast Football Conference Coach of the Year awards (2014 and 2017) and the 2014 USA Sports Writer JUCO Coach of the Year honor.
Now, Osovet is tasked with turning a relatively unproductive position over the first two seasons under Jeremy Pruitt into a productive one.
