Gordon Hudson. Chad Lewis. Itula Mili. Jonny Harline. Dennis Pitta. The list of quality tight ends in BYU’s football history is extensive.
Since the graduation of Dennis Pitta and Andrew George in 2009, however, BYU struggled for nearly a decade to find consistent tight end production. With the emergence of Freshman All-American Matt Bushman last year, BYU finally has a tight end is considered among the nation’s best.
Matt Bushman isn’t the only contributor in this tight end group, though. With the return of Moroni Laulu-Pututau from injury, two promising true freshmen, and a converted offensive lineman, BYU looks like it fields its deepest tight end group in nearly a decade.
