Tight End
2017 Projection: Starter at tight end
This is the year for Cole Herdman to shine. Two seasons ago he was behind several more experienced TEs. Last season he became an integral part of the offense by averaging almost three receptions per game. Now he enters as the most experienced receiver and a junior who could be one of the better TEs in the conference.
