Minnesota Football 2023 Preview: Upgrade / Downgrade Tight End

This is largely a unit that has had far more impact in the run game than in the passing game over recent seasons. In the first four years of the PJ Fleck era the tight end accounted for just over 6% of the passing offense. The two years following were over 20% as Brevyn Spann-Ford began grow into his role.

He now enters his final season with the Gophers after breaking out in 2022.

2022

Starter: Brevyn Spann-Ford, Nick Kallerup
Depth: Jameson Geers

Spann-Ford finally had that breakout year people had been waiting for.
