Ole Miss signing class 2016: Rebels reload with a trio of 4-star tight ends

Hugh Freeze, who loves incorporating tight ends into his offense, has struggled to stock depth behind Evan Engram. That changed on Wednesday.

The infamous 2013 recruiting class included three tight ends: Christian Morgan, Arshad Jackson, and Evan Engram. Of the trio, Morgan and Jackson had elite SEC size and offers. With no incumbent scholarship tight ends on the roster, it was assumed that these two would be the de facto starters. We all know it didn't happen that way. Morgan injured his knee, Jackson failed to qualify, Evan Engram became a hero with his breakout performance that Fall.
