Time to own the state of Colorado!

Good speed and size - nice TE or rush end.   capable of adding a few pounds (20 to even 30?).

Distance from home makes a difference to him.  Which would seem to give us a leg up on half his Top 10.  Playing time and relationship with coaches also important.  

 

Mom went to Nebraska and his mom's side of the family are all Husker fans.  Has family in Benkelman.  Extreme southwest Nebraska - only 20ish miles from Colorado.

Would not be a bad fall back if we miss on Fidone. Obviously Fidone is far and away #1 on the board

Looks like UCLA is the favorite right now. The state of Colorado is about to have 4-5 Power-5 TEs this class. The type of thing we just can’t swing and miss on.

Problem is how many TEs do we need? If we get Fidone and maybe Rollins, I'm ok with not pulling any from Colorado. In a normal year I'd say it's a problem if we don't get any from that close, but it's just a weird year for TEs in the radius. Maybe some can play DE?

Fair enough. I phrased that poorly. I meant to say it would be a shame if we don’t take advantage of this if we miss out on other TEs.

We don’t need numbers we need difference makers. We have a lot of big and slow guys. Too many if anything.

Ah good point, if we don't get a stud TE or two I'll be seriously disappointed.
