Don’t know anything about him, but Illinois was decent this year.
Illinois TE Hunter Boyer commits to UK!
- Thread starter Oak_Hill
- Start date
Hope he can block cause he won’t be catching
Only caught three passes for 20 yards? Strength is suppose to be blocking and has great size for a TE. Perhaps he can get stronger at UK and catch a few more passes?
6-6. 270 pounds
That could help some goal line situations.

This player is being brought in as a blocker, what they get from him in the pass catching dept is gravy.
It’s not necessarily my ideal style of play, but if we’re going to use tight ends primarily as extra linemen instead of receiving threats anyway, maybe getting some guys like this makes more sense than trying to use theoretically capable receiving tight ends in that role. I doubt we signed him for his receiving skills.
NO. More like a sixth offensive lineman. He is a blocking TE, you do have to have those you know. Don't you ?
If hes 270, might be worth seeing if he can gain more weight and slide to ot.
Nothing wrong grabbing a road grading TE (a role I thought Lemaster would grow into) to compliment Kattus, Rodriguez and Skinner. At that size and with Keenum now in the portal might see if he can snap a bit as a 3rd string emergency C...lol.
He is a blocking beast at 6’6” 270lb. Bringing back the Big Blue Wall Days
We have to be able to run the ball effectively because through 12 years, we are still allergic to the forward pass.
Saw article earlier that said he got single digit snaps each game 2nd half of year at Illinois. Woohoo! Great addition!
Wooohoo another blocker for Stoops. Can Mitch just go ahead and retire the faster he leaves the faster this mess can be cleaned up!
A TE catching passes at UK? Ha...what drugs are you on man?
Is it more depressing that this is the caliber of player we’re getting or the fans in this thread trying to spin it?
That room needs depth. Rodriguez is the future star. Kattus is the old man. And, Skinner is the guy who may be able to spread the field and lineup at WR. We have taken depth in the portal before. This appears to be just that.
Rodriguez looked great imo. Im surprised kattus isnt in the portal after being leap frogged. I assumed after his brother flipped, it was certain.
Me too brother! Couple of hog's head biscuits and a pan of gravy would go nicely 'bout now!!
You might have a winner, though I'm not assuming either way.
Isn’t that what Kattus is for?
Why have two poor receivers TE…
Plus Rodriguez is more then big/strong enough to be a good blocker…maybe if we had a legit coach we’d develop him before he transfer
Boyer is a big boy alright, he looks like he can play. You ever notice that when we do have an incoming transfer it's always noted he will have one years or two years of eligibility left, like that means anything. That part of the sentence is worthless, hell most everybody now stays one year and bolts. Gone are the days of somebody playing more than one year for the most part, when they transfer here.

For a guy who “looks like he can play” he sure didn’t play.
He’s a benchwarmer. Just like the rest
He doesn't have to catch many passes if he's a good blocker, surely, we didn't sign a guy who can't do anything.
He will play a lot. I expect a heavy run offense this coming season.
And?
I’m sorry but if you’re still supporting Stoops at this point you’re part of the problem.
Can’t do anything but play golf and hit it long. Need NIL cash. That’s was his resume I’m the man who can’t do anything😁
Skinner and Rodiquez will be the primary pass catching TE. Boyer and Katus will be used primarily as blockers. Skinner and Rodiquez split out wide too.
Some of you don’t understand football lol. He’s was brought in for a specific role and I’m sure they didn’t have to pay him. They needed an inline blocker and depth. There are concerns to be had about this roster but every guy isn’t being brought in to be a starter. This is an obvious case of that.
Any other 2nd/3rd stringers from non powerhouses available?
Surely if they didn’t see the field at Illinois much they’ll be a homerun for us.

He played a lot of snaps for a decent Illinois team. Again, he is a role player. He is and will primarily be a blocker. He is basically a 6th OL. If we had a better OL we wouldn't need 6 guys to block 4.
