This year's Tight Ends in College Football are very strong at the top, but after the Top 3 there is a lot of pairity. Many great Tight Ends were lost after last season in Chase Coffman and James Casey just to name a few.
Here's my list of Top 20 Tight Ends going into 2009.
1. Rob Gronkowski, Arizona, Jr.
Gronkowski has already established himself as the best Tight End in Arizona Wildcat history, and according to me is the best all-around Tight End going into 2009. Gronkowski was a 3rd Team All-American last season, and has set practically every Tight End record at Arizona in his two seasons at the school. The Wildcats projected starter at Quarterback, Matt Scott already has a great go-to target in his first season behind Center in Gronkowski.
2. Dennis Pitta, BYU, Sr.
The best overall athlete amongst this year’s Tight Ends. Pitta led all Tight Ends last season with the most receiving yards with 1,083 in a Cougar offense that produced a 3,500+ yard passer, 1,000 yard rusher, and the nation’s stat leader in receiving yards in Austin Collie. Pitta can line out wide and burn opposing teams secondaries. Just needs to become a more consistent blocker.
3. Jermaine Gresham, Oklahoma, Sr.
Gresham opted to return with Bradford for his Senior season to get another crack at the National Title. Gresham was a 1st Team All-American last year, but it will be hard to follow up his performance from last season. I’m afraid that Gresham has peaked in his college career, kind of a questionable move coming back this year.
4. D.J. Williams, Arkansas, Jr.
In his first full season as the starter for the Razorbacks, Williams had 723 yards and three touchdowns in Bobby Petrino’s offense. Williams will now have Michigan transfer Ryan Mallett throwing to him, and a more experienced offense as well. Expect big production from this Razorback.
5. Garrett Graham, Wisconsin, Sr.
When Travis Beckum went down with an injury last season, the Badgers production at Tight End didn’t have a drop-off as many suspected. Graham had a respectable 540 yards last season in a year where the Badgers couldn’t find consistency at the Quarterback position. With Beckum now gone, Graham is the man at Tight End and he’s already the best in the tough Big Ten.
The Rest: 6-20
6. Cody Slate, Marshall, Sr.
7. Ed Dickson, Oregon, Sr.
8. Aaron Hernandez, Florida, Jr.
9. Richard Dickson, LSU, Sr.
10. Jamie McCoy, Texas A&M, Sr.
11. Jason Mastrud, Kansas State, Sr.
12. Jason Harmon, Florida Atlantic, Sr.
13. Tony Moeaki, Iowa, Sr. *injured
15. Bruce Figgins, Georgia, Jr. *Possibly suspended
16. Josh LeDuc, Eastern Michigan, Sr.
17. Andrew George, BYU, Sr.
18. Mike McNeill, Nebraska, Jr.
19. Andrew Quarless, Penn State, Sr.
20. Jim Dray, Stanford, Sr.
