Listed at 6-5 and only 238 pounds so a bit on the light side for a TE. Might be more of a pass catcher than blocker.

He's wearing #18 and split out in the file photo of him we've got so you are probably right. Just hasn't caught a lot of passes so far in his career.

Chip Kelly offense, team that beat the Gophers and was just one game behind in the standings. Not a huge stretch if he’s already been playing in state and wants to get out of state. Not sure what other offers were.

Not really sure I understand the allure of Chip Kelly in this day and age. He had the most talented offense in football last year at Ohio State and they weren't super overpowering. I did some digging and it's not like his TE's lit it on fire either (but neither have GOphers TE's either) , but to your second point I could totally understand that.


TE’s under Kelly past 5 years

Max Klare:43 rec in 2024 448 yards

Moliki Matavao: 14 rec for 283 yards in 2023 (Loya was top rec for this team with 655 yards)

Michael Ezeike: 20 rec for 226 yards in 2022

Greg Dulcich: 42 rec for 725 yards in 2021

Greg Dulcich 26 rec for 517 yards in 2020

Northwestern is not a bad school either.
 





Does anyone know which of the guys on the roster is seen as more of a blocker? We lost a couple of good blocking TEs in Bierman and Biber.
 

I’m excited to see Walsh in the pass game, in his high school hudl videos he was a big framed wr.

I don’t think we really have one that you’d be afraid to throw it to.
