Iowa State’s tight-ends have been like a half-empty box of chocolates: You never really knew what you were gonna get, but there really wasn’t much there to begin with. Will it be different this season? All signs point to that being the case.
Talent
Iowa State has seen some talented players, such as EJ Bibbs and Collin Franklin, make an impact at this position. Generally, however, this has been an under-recruited position, and warm bodies who could block were often pressed into service.
That being said, Matt Campbell has placed an emphasis on recruiting athletic pass-catchers who can help open up the offense and serve as solid bail-out options for Jacob Park.
