I don't know if we're recruiting him as a tight end or tackle. Anyone know?

Maybe he wants to play tight end. Some kids are bound and determined to stay at a certain position. Who knows?

I think you recruit him at whatever position he wants to play, then let it sort out. Maybe he grows into a tackle, or perhaps he dominates as a tight end. Either way, he seems to be a guy you want.

Probably at OT hoping for development in a real strength and conditioning program. If he has to stay at TE, at best he's a situational blocking TE. If he's a good blocker then win, win. The game is so situational now that getting a quality 5-10 snaps from a guy is an underrated success. All he needs to do is make 1 key block a game and no frickups and his job is done while being considered a success by the staff. Minute details are the Kelly bread and butter for success. Not flashy but effective

That coach is Robby’s uncle, his dad’s brother.

Makes much more sense if they look at his as an ot/blocking te.

New: #LSU OC Mike Denbrock just made an intriguing offer to a JUCO product.

Butte College's Connor Gilbreath is a TE, but he's eyeing a future at OT.

"It gives me a chance to block even more."

Gilbreath opened up on LSU, an

Holy blocking Batman! This guy engages and does not stop.

TE this year, for crushing blocks and surprise them for a few passes down the seam. You imagine he blocks a guy a few yards downfield then disengages and catches a pass.

Next year OT and year after starting LT or RT
