Tight Ends
#1 — Jamari Johnson, TE, Oregon (6'5", 255 lbs)
9/5 - (Boise State) - Johnson had a very good game. He flashed upside as a receiver catching 4 balls for 57 yards and 1 TD. He did a good job of finding spots within one and using his posture to get good position on the ball. He also showed his blocking chops, sealing defenders off and doing so with physicality. He easily looked like one of the top TEs in this class.
#2 — Trey’Dez Green, TE, LSU (6'7", 240 lbs)
9/5 - (Clemson) - Green was very impressive. While he popped with 4 catches for 58 yards, I was surprised by how much effort he gave in the blocking game. He was solid as an in-line, and flashed along the perimeter. He wasn't outstanding, but certainly did far better than I expected. He looked like a Day 1 prospect many times in this contest.
#3 — Jelani Thurman, TE, North Carolina (6'6", 250 lbs)
8/29 - (TCU) - Thurman impressed. While he didn't show chops as an in-line blocker, he did his part in the open field and on chip blocks. He proved to be a seam threat as well as a reliable target moving laterally at midfield. His play speed and length made him a challenge to cover. He had 4 catches for 94 yards, and was obviously a big part of their game plan.
#4 — Lawson Luckie, TE, Georgia (6'4", 240 lbs)
#5 — Benjamin Brahmer, TE, Penn State (6'7", 255 lbs)
#6 — Benji Blackburn, TE, Stanford (6'6", 265 lbs)
9/4 - (Miami) - Blackburn stood out several times in this one. Atop of catching 7 balls for 52 yards, he did dirt work as a blocker and proved to be a reliable target at the second level.
#7 — Peter Clarke, TE, Temple (6'6", 265 lbs)
#8 — Jeremiah Hasley, TE, Duke (6'3", 250 lbs)
#9 — DJ Vonnahme, TE, Iowa (6'4", 240 lbs)
#10 — Andrew Rappleyea, TE, Penn State (6'4", 252 lbs)
#11 — Luke Reynolds, TE, Virginia Tech (6'4", 252 lbs)
#12 — Terrance Carter, TE, Texas Tech (6'2", 245 lbs)
#13 — Eric Olson, TE, Oregon State (6'5", 240 lbs)
#14 — Walker Lyons, TE, BYU (6'4", 245 lbs)
#15 — Garrett Oakley, TE, Kansas State (6'5", 248 lbs)
#16 — Dorian Thomas, TE, California (6'4", 250 lbs)
#17 — Chris Corbo, TE, Georgia Tech (6'5", 250 lbs)
#18 — Theo Melin Ohrstrom, TE, SMU (6'5", 247 lbs)
#19 — Brody Foley, TE, Louisville (6'6", 260 lbs)
#20 — Brett Norfleet, TE, Missouri (6'6", 260 lbs)
#21 — Cooper Flanigan, TE, Notre Dame (6'6", 247 lbs)
#22 — Zack Marshall, TE, Michigan (6'4", 245 lbs)
#22 — Elija Lofton, TE, Miami (6'3", 242 lbs)
9/4 - (Stanford) - Lofton caught just 1 ball for 14 yards. In a game where Miami had 400 yards passing, he was a non-factor, not part of the mix.
