The tight end position was going to be a thing for the Fresno State Bulldogs a year ago. They went out and hired a position coach, rather than working the few tight ends on the roster with the inside receivers as they had the two previous seasons. They recruited to the position, trying to find fits with big but agile bodies to run pass routes as well as bigger bodies to block. It would help the run game. It would help the pass game.
The anticipated production didn’t materialize, for a number of reasons.
But after the first of 15 spring practices, it appears Fresno State could be in much better position to make use of the tight end spot this season with the addition of JC transfer Gunner Javernick and addition to the position group of Kyle Hendrickson.
