Welcome back to our weekly installment of the Top Five Series, where we take a closer look at some of the most talented players or position groups that the Hoosiers will be facing this fall. So far we have made it through quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and the offensive line, leaving just one position on offense, tight ends. It was somewhat difficult to rank this position, because as you well know, a tight end’s offensive production is largely dependent upon what type of offense the team is running. For our ranking, their production in the passing game was heavily weighted as was potential to have a breakout season this fall. Here are the tight ends, all of whom were named to the John Mackey Award watch list last month, we believe could create the most trouble for the Hoosiers this fall.
