Was a Cat for three years ? Just never lived up to what many thought he would be in college.

I thought he might have a good ability to be a pass catching TE. Unfortunate for him and the teams he was with.
Why? We rarely use a TE anyway. Plus, he was recruited over at least 3 years ago. He perhaps could have been a decent weapon in Coen's offense but I don't see how he fits at all in Hamdan's. Seems like he was very much a 'tweener' and wasn't big enough or physical enough to be in-line TE nor was he quite fast/elusive enough to split out consistently. He wouldn't want to transfer here, imo, as it's unlikely he'd see much PT and even less likely to see a healthy number of targets. JMO
In 2022 and 2023 we were second in the SEC in yardage. Last year was not good. The narrative that we don’t use TE is completely false
That could be true (don't care enough to check). But we rotate multiple TEs throughout and one TE rarely sees more than 2-3 targets in a game unlike other teams who throw to one TE almost exclusively. Plus, we just plain don't run as many plays and don't throw more than about 50-55% of the plays we do run.
