Position preview: On a deep team, is tight end IU’s deepest spot?

Related Topics: IU, Indiana, Kevin Wright, Penny Taylor

We know this is going to be a deep Indiana football team. In fact, we’ve known it for months.

But which position group leads that conversation? Is it one of the defensive units? Receiver, perhaps? There are several places to look.

Like tight end.

For one, IU didn’t lose a single player from last year’s position room. At the same time, it added contributors such as graduate transfer Khameron Taylor and freshman AJ Barner. It returns one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the Big Ten in Peyton Hendershot, and the presence of understudies Matt Bjorson, Gary Cooper and Turon Ivy means the Hoosiers could lean toward a few more two-tight end sets this fall.
