The tight ends

Posted on May 27, 2008

At least one receiver position appears to be solid for the next few years and that is the tight ends.  Shea Reagan leads this bunch and the senior may one of the best in the country if he stays healthy.  Sophmore Evan Frosh and RSFR Logan Brock will add experience to the group and incoming freshmen Corey Fuller and Walker Dille may not get much playing time but show a lot of promise for the future.

Depth chart

Shea Reagan-averaging 19.7 yards per reception and his 1st 17 catches in his career went for 1st downs.  Injuries have limited his playing time over the years else you would be hearing a lot more pub for him.  Originally recruited as a QB.

Evan Frosch-had 5 receptions in 2007

Logan Brock-played QB in high school until injuries forced a position change his SR year in which he was all-state at TE.

Others:

Ryan Benge-JUCO transfer from Navarro

Robert Deck-walkon from Nolan HS.

Incoming freshmen:

Walker Dille-All State and all Houston area TE.  Great hands and speed but needs to add some weight to his 6-3 frame.

Corey Fuller-1st Team All State and District MVP.  At 6-5 and 219 needs to develop a little in the weight room but has great athleticism for his size.  110M hurdler in HS.

Needs for the class of 2009:

Lots of potential behind the SR but not the size coaches would like especially for the blocking TE.  Not an area of huge need but they may go after a big JUCO TE.  Made an early offer to Trey Graham who picked UT, there are currently no other offers out for TEs.

Others:

• Ryan Fitch Grand Prairie, TX (South) Scout Inc evaluation:Fitch is a rangy tight end prospect. Looks taller than his listed size and will need to get into a college weight program and add bulk. He looks on film to have a good wingspan and should be able to pack on additional needed size. He is a productive blocker. Makes adequate initial contact. Will flash the ability to get placement with his hands, generate some power from his hips, and take short choppy steps. When he does that he can create push off the ball in the run game. He needs to be more consistent in his technique. He can get overextended at times and needs to watch his pad level. He does a very adequate job of blocking down and needs to get better positioning. Does a solid job of being able to cut-off on the backside. Overall, he needs to be more consistent, but displays the ability to consistently get himself between the defender and the ball. Not a damaging blocker, but productive. He is a solid receiver. Displays a good initial take-off and has long strides. Not a burner but can get vertical some. Has good hands and can catch the ball away from his frame. Displays solid concentration and can make the tough grab. Fitch is a tight end with some upside. Needs to keep filling out his frame, but could develop into a solid well-rounded college tight end.
• Coby Goodwin 6-6/210 Cypress, TX  (Cy-Fair) Scout, Inc evaluation:Goodwin is a tall lean tight end prospect. He has the ideal height, but will need to get into a college weight program and add significant bulk to his frame. He is a productive blocker that can make solid initial contact. When he gets locked on he can be tough to beat. Can get on his toes some and overextend. He is leverage disadvantaged and needs to generate more power from his lower body on contact. Does a solid job of being able to stay with his blocks. Does an adequate job of being able to step and seal a defender. Flashes the ability to quickly work up to the second level and get a piece of moving targets. He needs to add size and keep developing as a blocker, but that will be the strength of his game at the college level. He displays good hands and the ability to catch the ball away from his body with some consistency. Runs adequate routes and will do a solid job of selling a block before releasing into his route. He will be best in the short passing game as an outlet receiver. Lacks the speed to stretch the field. He will fight for yards, but will not make many defenders miss at the college level with the ball in his hands. Goodwin is a solid prospect. Needs to keep filling out, but can develop into a solid blocking tight end.
• Zack Parker Arlington, TX

JUCO:

TE Brett Acre 6-5/250 Coalinga, CA (West Hills)

TE Prizell Brown 6-4/258/4.65 Brenham, TX (Blinn)

Brown is a former all-region basketball player from Pflugerville Connally and turned down several offers to pursue his dream of playing TE.  A very good athlete and has the size the coaches need and uses his body well.
