Ever since the graduation of E.J. Bibbs, the tight end position has essentially been ignored at Iowa State. That may have changed last season had a certain promising not endured a string of injuries and illness led him to redshirt this past season.
This week, I’m looking to see what Chase Allen can do and how he fits into this offense, both as a receiver and a blocker. At 6’6” 230 lbs, Allen has the size and athleticism to create a lot of problems for opposing defenses when running routes out of the slot or on delayed routes from a more traditional tight end spot.
