AJ Barner calls Michigan’s TE room ‘underrated’, ready for ‘big impact’

It’s early in the season, the Michigan Wolverines are 2-0, and there’s a position unit with a chip on its shoulder — the tight ends.

AJ Barner says he and the rest of Michigan’s tight ends “get plenty of love from the coaches”, but he also feels outsiders may be sleeping on them.

“Right now, yeah, we are underrated,” Barner said.

Michigan’s tight ends haven’t contributed in the passing game in a major way through two weeks, but with Big Ten Conference play inching closer, every facet of Michigan’s offense will be unleashed.

Barner has one reception for 12 yards, TE1 Colston Loveland has six receptions for 63 yards and Max Bredeson has one snag for 14 yards.
