Per Randy:

Personnel, again, is the reason.

Jameson Geers, a 6-5, 250-pounder, improved from two catches for 10 yards and a TD as a sophomore in 2023 to 28 receptions for 290 yards and four TDs last year. He’s developing a connection with quarterback Drake Lindsey and has emerged as a leader in his position group.

“It feels really exciting. We’re going to use a lot of tight ends in the pass and run game this year,” Geers, a Channahon, Ill., native said. “We’ve been evolving as an offense the past couple months. And we’re going to be really involved in all aspects of the offense.”

Geers finished the season strong in 2024, catching TD passes in wins over Illinois and Wisconsin and the 26-25 loss to Penn State. He had an eight-catch game at Rutgers and a four-catch outing at UCLA. He’s on the preseason watch list for the John Mackey Award, given to the nation’s top tight end.


Go Gophers!!
