On Tuesday, Indiana Senior tight end Ted Bolser was named to
the John Mackey Award Watch List. The Mackey
Award is handed out to the most outstanding tight end in the nation at the
conclusion of each season. This is the
third appearance for Bolser on the preseason list during his career in
Bloomington.
While Bolser was productive during his junior campaign, most
would consider it a disappointment based on the elevated expectation level entering the 2012 season. He hauled in 41
receptions for 445 yards and three touchdowns while becoming just the third tight
end to record over 1,000 career receiving yards in school history. Those numbers led to him being recognized as
All-Big Ten honorable mention by both the coaches and media.
The Big Ten is absolutely loaded at the tight end position
in 2013 with seven players from the conference being named to the
Mackey Award Watch List. With Bolser
entering his senior season, and third year in Kevin Wilson’s offense, taking
his game to the next level will be both expected and necessary. By elevating his play Bolser could not only score him individual recognition but also help the Hoosiers take
the next step as a team.
