Throughout the summer and over the first two weeks of the season, one Texas true freshman has been standing out for his "dirty work" on offense. No, it's not WR Daylan McCutcheon, OT Nick Brooks, or even WR Kaliq Lockett.
It's 4-star TE Nick Townsend.
Townsend hasn't been a factor as a pass-catcher just yet, but his blocking ability is incredibly advanced for being as young as he is. Steve Sarkisian has been using him as a blocking tight end fairly consistently in weeks 1 and 2. He's a great move-blocker on wham, insert, and lead blocks in space due to his excellent technique and strong core.
