2020 Vanderbilt Football Position Preview: Tight End

I suppose we should get back to previewing the team as though the season is going to happen.

Mysteriously, Vanderbilt’s production at the tight end position dropped in 2019 as part of a team-wide offensive meltdown. After catching 50 passes for 774 yards and 7 touchdowns as a junior, Jared Pinkney (somewhat surprisingly) returned, and caught just 20 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns — numbers much more in line with his freshman and sophomore seasons than his breakout junior year. It was a surprising development for an offense that very much intended to feature the tight end.
