Tight End Outlook

I thought UT was going with an H-Back and not using a TE in the tradtional sense.

Not using a FB. Are using a TE

Riveria is good, but I would prefer a 3rd WR instead of a TE when he graduates.

Rivera moves smooth on his routes, and he can catch...under-rated athlete IMO. Downs reminds me of Stocker, the way he catches a pass and them busts through some tacklers with shear momentum for extra yards. He should focus on staying reliable and not worry about making RB type cuts, but who knows how he'll develop. Any little angle gives him advantage.

We're definitely gonna have to change up the recruiting plan a little bit.

But I will say that in the Orange and White game I didn't see too many two tight ends. Plus I think we'll be using 3 wide a lot more than people think.

I think most people expect atleast 3 wide often. And prob 4 wide a good bit with WR being a strength.

Croomster is happy playing as long as he gets to touch the ball. TE is absolutely NOT his 1st choice, but we've always known that his blocking skills and size there's definitely a possibility of him becoming that Hybrid.

Jason Witten wasn't stoked about the move to TE either, initially. If it comes to that, I feel that your son could be a major asset.

I don't see Croom moving to TE. As for his blocking skills, valuable WRs need to have them.
