Nebraska Football 2023 Spring Preview: The Tight Ends

To be fair, Nate Boerkircher’s six receptions and Arik Gilbert’s freshman year at LSU far exceed that, but this is again a position which is wide open given that all but a tiny bit of last year’s production has moved on.

It is populated by one transfer and five redshirts who bring varying levels of potential and recruiting service recognition. Their experience also varies from Arik Gilbert’s substantial playing time as a freshman at LSU to minimal time on the field for a couple players to no playing time at all yet for others.

In other words, don’t expect too much certainty coming out of spring ball.
