BYU Football Positional Preview: Tight Ends

BYU has a long history of great tight ends. From Gordon Hudson to Chad Lewis to Dennis Pitta and many others, there have been plenty of productive tight ends to come through Provo. Who will stand out this year?

Likely Starters

Isaac Rex

In 2020, no other tight end in the country caught more touchdowns than Rex. He tied 2021 No. 4 overall pick Kyle Pitts for the most touchdown receptions by a tight end, benefitting from quarterback Zach Wilson’s breakout season. At the end of the season, he was named a Freshman All-American.
