2019 Nebraska Football Position Breakdown: Tight Ends

Brent FieldsThe tight ends are a group that were exceptionally young in 2018. Even in 2019, there isn’t a senior on the roster. They were not heavily involved in the passing game early in the season, but there seemed to be a concerted effort by the coaching staff to get them more involved in the later games. We were told that tight ends would be a prominent feature in the Frost-fense, so either this group didn’t have the goods or their youth combined with adjustment to a new system slowed the learning process.

I’m going to be an optimist and say it was the latter. There’s no burners in this group, but there is height. At the very least, they should provide a red zone threat for this offense…
