The tight end position was once the sweetheart of Jim Harbaugh’s offense at Michigan, with sometimes as many as five seeing the field on one play. Since Josh Gattis has taken over the offense this offseason, there has been more focus on fast receivers who can pull off the #speedinspace mantra, and less on the tight ends, who are usually relied on to create match-up issues for defenses.
But the latest commitment in the 2020 class was 3-star Matthew Hibner, giving Michigan two tight ends in the class with the staff still pursuing several more.
