Next Man Up: Nik Ognenovic is Built to be an SEC Tight End

@N11kolas

As C.J. Conrad completes his final year at Kentucky, another tight end looks prepared to seamlessly fill his shoes.

Ft. Lauderdale’s Nik Ognenovic (Oh-Gin-oh-vick) is a 6’7″ 240-pound pass-catcher that will sign with Kentucky in December. With three tight ends returning next fall, it may take him some time to climb up the depth chart to get on the field, but Ognenovic has the size and work ethic to become one of the best in the SEC.

Why UK?

The Cardinal Gibbons tight end first caught the eyes of Eddie Gran while UK’s offensive coordinator scouted his quarterback, Nik Scalzo.
