Continue ReadingThe Queen City Senior Bowl is an all-star game played in Charlotte, NC that features 80 seniors from the immediate Charlotte Metro Area – Mecklenburg, Gaston, Cleveland, Union, and Cabarrus counties. Proceeds from the game go to benefit the Metro School located in downtown Charlotte, which educates children with a myriad of disability conditions.
Let’s take a look at this year’s Tight End Group:
Donyea Coleman – Myers Park – Donyea was one of my favorites at this position from the preseason when we featured Myers Park. He can play from a 3-point stance in the traditional tight end role, or he can flex out wide and play some wide receiver on the outside. When at TE, he is a matchup problem against linebackers and safeties. At 6’3 and 200 pounds, he has a nice frame to grow and add weight on the next level.
Trevion Graham – Rocky River – Another physically impressive player at 6’4 and 225 pounds, Trevion is someone that colleges will say has a ton of upside because of his frame and the way he can run on the football field. I think as a tight end he does a good job run blocking and setting the edge on outside running plays. I think he has the ability to become a big-time receiving threat – we didn’t see much of it this year, but I have seen him in camps and he can really move for his size.
Liam Groulx – Providence Day – Groulx quickly became one of my favorite players because he can do so much on the football field. From a Tight End perspective, he does the dirty work – he can line up as an H-Back/Move guy and be a lead blocker and pass protector very well. But he can also catch a couple of passes a game and has enough athletic ability to make you pay down the seam and in the middle of the field. He’s also a state champion, so there’s another plus in knowing how to win!
Chase Wigginton – Lake Norman – At 6’3 and 190 pounds, I think Chase can really develop into one of those vertical tight end receiving threats at the next level. Similar to Coleman, Wigginton can flex out wide and win one on one battles on the outside – in jump ball situations, especially. Lake Norman was a run-first offense, so Wigginton is well-versed in the run blocking aspect of the position and should be able to do a consistently good job with it on the next level by adding a few more pounds to his frame.
