Interested to hear the board's thoughts on whether they prefer Bech at TE or at WR. To me, it looks like Bech has gotten big as hell (without losing athleticism), and I'd love to use him as a "move" TE. I don't think there's a significant gap in size or athleticism between Bech and Thomas Fidone, and Fidone was considered TE all the way. The only real difference i can see is that Bech has only just recently bulked up, whereas Fidone has been big for a while. If Bech had had a chance to go to camps this summer I think he'd have wound up as a 4* and a TE.


Thoughts?

Doesnt really matter cause he will be split out anyway.

Also, you won't know till you get him on campus and see where he fits in the offense.

I just love that he fights for the ball.
You always need those players in the middle of the field, no matter what 40 they run

Flex TE ultimately is my guess as he's 6'2-6'3 215 already with room to grow and very willing blocker, but wherever he ends up I think he can do really well.

He has a high motor, a true field general, a brings his lunch pail to work kind of player.

He’s built and plays like Dez Bryant. Just a physical freak that runs great routes and outmuscles everyone. The knock is his top end speed but it doesn’t matter when you can high point the ball like he does.

Bryant actually was a low 4 star out high school that racked up big offers at 6’2 220lbs.

One service(Rivals courtesy of Spiegleman) does rank him as a 4* TE. 247s LA scout spends all of his time in Texas and the only real guy they seem to be evaluating instate is Manning. They're becoming eerily similar to the model they left in their wake at Rivals.
Word from Rivals is that LSU likes him more as a flex TE. No issue with the take as I think he's worthy of being one but I do wonder on space in regards to taking he and Shead. Different types I know but we are gonna need the spots presumably we are missing on hs targets with in regards to filling depth and talent on the OL and at S via the transfer market. May even need a LB that can play immediately. This end of cycle is gonna be extremely intriguing to me in terms of the space and targets both in hs and the transfer market. As important a class in terms of immediate help we've had in a long time

They could use him similar to Gilbert. Split out at TE or WR. Move him around. He just won't be as fast or as big. He won't be a fast WR and he won't be a big TE. They have plenty of examples of this in the NFL. It can work if LSU does it right. He's talented enough, imo.

I think he has a frame that could probably more weight without losing much speed if any.

Dude should be a TE. Evan Engram at the combine measured 6'3 234. Bech could pack on 20 more lbs and be an aggressive flex TE.
