Sounds like the competition to replace former Miami TE Greg Olsen has been pretty spirited. From what I can see, it's wide open right now between junior DajLeon Farr, sophomore Richard Gordon, sophomore Dedrick Epps and junior Chris Zellner.
"All of them can run and catch," coach Randy Shannon said after Monday's practice. "They're big and they can block. So we're kind of excited by what they're doing right now. Everyone on this team has talent. Once you try to make one guy, `the guy,' that guy's going to get tired. So you better make sure you have another guy to come in and step up. I remember the time we had Mondriel Fulcher and Bubba Franks. Both of them were splitting time, but both were great players because each of them was getting maybe 35 plays apiece instead of 65. When you have that kind of rotation, it can wear a defense down. They have a lot of talent."
So who do you think ultimately wins the starting TE job?
