TE Depth and '14 recruiting

This season we will only have 4 TEs on the roster. I expect that at least one walk-on will be added at that spot, but that is pure speculation. Two juniors, a sophomore, and a freshman.

Dickson emerged late in the season as a pass catching threat. Stokes was brought in to be more of a blocker. Dillon Gordon looks like an OL playing TE, but flashed some athleticism in high school. And Desean Smith is expected to be the primary receiving target at the TE position as just a true freshman.

We also have Jacory Washington already committed for the '14 class. He's more of a receiver than in-line blocker.

I think we'll take 3 TEs total in this class, with one being another JC guy like Stokes.

Candidates:
John Thomas - Trinity Valley CC (Former LSU Commit)
Josh McNeil - Co-Lin CC (may not be available 'til '15)
Anthony Jones - Edna Karr. Raw, athletic prospect that would need to add weight after being more of a basketball guy until this year.
Kendall Ardoin - Ville Platte. Same as Jones.

Clay Moffit of Catholic High is also listed as a TE, but may be getting looks on the defensive line.

My amateur opinion is that we bring in Thomas and Jones in addition to Washington. That would give us another big bodied blocker in Thomas, with two more tall, athletic receiving targets.
