Nice

 

[PEPPERJAX]

This certainly helps the offense next year.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Any chance he portals for what would presumably be a bigger NIL deal?

 

[sevavol]

Great news!!!

 

[Orange931]

Idk and I wouldn’t worry about it unless we actually see it happen.

Pay Matthews and pay the Kitz.

 

[OneVolNation]

Boom!

 

[PEPPERJAX]

LOL

So in theory, he announces to return to UT for 2025 just to be portal bound for NIL leverage?

Kitselman was the best portal addition last season with Jerrod McCoy a close second.

Absolutely. He just declared eligible to keep playing. Now he can portal in April if he wishes. Right?

Well yeah I guess so. Hopefully he decided to return knowing that he is going to be compensated well for the 2025 season.

Nah..McCoy was the best and it's not even close. Miles was definitely 2nd.

And this is why Staes hit the portal----we have some stud TE's coming in also

 

[SugarVols]

Great news! He was a big time playmaker this year out of the blue.

 

[knox73]

Proven targets for Nico looking good. Need a few more portal guys like Kitselman who is one of best Vol tight ends ever.

Maybe he'll just stay if we agree not to forget about him in the most important game of the year. This is good news.

Ever? Let's see how next season plays out b4 I'd put him in that category.

I admit great Vol TEs is a very short list

 

[JohnnyD123]

He was def one of the bright spots early on in the season. Hopefully he adds to that next season.

 

[volbound1700]

Good news

 

[Teeman]

Great news. Kitselman and Davis accounted for right at 10% (37) of UT's completions and almost a third of the passing TDs(6) in 2024. Not to mention providing additional pass protection for Nico. I would like to see even more from the TE position next year given the instability at OL and WR. The TE room will be a strength with the addition of Brame and VanDorselaer. The TE position could be a an even bigger asset for Nico. Much like Beck at Georgia. He wasn't the same QB without Brock Bowers.

 

[bigorangepoppa]

I would like to see Heupel utilize the tight end position the way Georgia did with Bowers.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

I would like to see Heupel utilize the tight end position the way Georgia did with Bowers.

Bowers was/is a physical freak. Not many tight ends with the speed to run jet sweeps.

Staes may be a great TE. Unfortunately for him kitselman was a diamond in the rough buried in the depth chart at Bama. I wish Staes the best and hope he lands somewhere where he will be the primary guy.
