Helm and Wolf will be in the two deep at TE if Branisel doesn't come back. I'm not impressed with Downs or Quinn at all

The brewer hit on downs in practice must have been horrific. You can just tell that dude doesn't have anything left in those knees since. I really hope bransiel can make it back for fall like some think he can.

I hope so I rest like him as a prospect. Seemed to have good hands and speed. Branisel, Helm and Wolf is a nice TE rotation

I get crazy results when I try to use the search function. I almost exclusively access VolNation via mobile, so not sure if that impacts it.

The mobile version is awesome btw. It always picks up on threads exactly where I left off. Dig it.

“i’m just ready to get in there and start working[.] the offseason’s going to do great things for all of us early enrollees, getting in the weight program. The extra work is really going to help us, especially with the lack of depth at tight end right now.”

“that’s my goal, is to be an every-down tight end, having that dual threat to the point where, if they need a guy to go out and play in the slot, do that, and then obviously being able to set the edge (in run blocking). That’s my goal, is to be that caliber of player that can be on the field at all times,” he said. I honestly can’t say that’s going to happen this year, because i don’t know what the plan is. But that’s my ultimate goal.”

“i guess we’ll just have to see,” wolf said. “i mean, i would love (to be an every-down player). I guess it all depends on how quick a.j. (branisel) is back — and i doubt he’s going to be back for spring ball — and how healthy brendan (downs) is, and just how many reps me and (fellow newcomer) daniel (helm) are going to be getting this spring just from the lack of depth at the position.”

i definitely think this class is going to be a significant part of turning this program around,” he said. “we’ve got a lot of great players coming in right now, and we’ve got a lot of talent. If we all stay on the same page and work hard, there’s no telling what we can do, especially as we start getting guys in younger classes.”

I don't know, it will be hard to keep Helm off the field on long distance downs. I agree he probably won't be valuable on goal line plays but he's got plenty ability to help jump start drives.

I have a feeling we're going to be so much better next year on both sides of the ball. Hard to run Jake's offense with no TEs and one legit WR.

I've thought this too. This recruiting class contains significant and immediate upgrades at almost all positions of need. With some consistent QB play, this team has a good chance to surprise some people next year.

Under rated post imo. Offensive scheme is specifically designed to create mismatches with the te & slot wr. Defenses have to choose how to cover the TE w a slower lb or smaller DB leaving either the slot or one of the outside wrs left matched up against a safety or the 4th best DB on the defense in a 3 wr 1 te set. Same with 2 te & 2 wr set.

At the tight end position, as one source put it to Volquest this week, the upgrade in simply adding two bodies made the position better. But it's more than just added bodies. Ethan Wolf arrived with good size and looks to be a guy who can be physical early in his career and Daniel Helm is a guy that athletically looks to be able to add a different dimension to the passing game. Remember, too, Brendan Downs has been on crutches so it's going to be a ton of reps and opportunities for the new guys.
