Meet the next generation of tight ends for Cincinnati Bearcats football

WEST HARRISON, Indiana – The University of Cincinnati's tight ends from 2022 are both current NFL players in Josh Whyle (fifth-round pick of the Tennessee Titans) and Leonard Taylor (free agent signee of the Jacksonville Jaguars). Neither played in the season-ending Wasabi Fenway Bowl in December.

Those duties were left to Chamon Metayer and Payten Singletary who lacked the reps Whyle and Taylor had all season. They come into 2023 with a total of four catches between them but with a lot of promise and potential.

Metayer turned heads in 2022's spring game when he hauled down a pair of touchdown passes and looked like he might sneak into the Whyle-Taylor rotation.
