Tight Ends to know this offseason

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this edition, we cover five tight ends that are making an impact this offseason. Who are they? Let's find out!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1563888"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681c3204f0d56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yocham is an athletic playmaker who is a chess piece. He can be inline, detached, motioned, and be an H-Back. Yocham shows good movement patterns and soft hands. He has a good catch radius and easily catches outside of his frame. Yocham transitions well upfield after the catch and does a good job of not having wasted movement. He is a player who understands zone coverages and where to sit in the soft spot and show his numbers to his signal caller. Yocham is a player who is versatile and, with another good year, should get looked at regionally in recruiting. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1556067"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681c3204f0dad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cantwell is an athletic player who moves well and has a high upside. At this stage, he is best as a big slot and being detached from the line, where he can get a free release and get vertical. Cantwell has strong hands and good ball-tracking skills. He attacks the ball and showcases good speed. With additional weight gain, he'll be a more well-rounded and complete player for the position. His frame should allow him to add on 15-20 lbs without limiting his skill set and athleticism.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1306772"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681c3204f0dfd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Passey has great size for the position and is an exciting prospect for the class. He is a well-rounded Tight End who can be in line or detached. He is a willing blocker, and he displays good physicality in this aspect, which makes him stand out in the 2026 class. Passey moves well and showcases good athleticism, and does a good job getting vertical. He tracks the ball well and creates late separation. He has good speed for a player his size and should get looked at regionally in recruiting, and is in line for a big final year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1563684"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681ffe3a69e16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coy is a hybrid, but he slots in as a move tight end and one that you can move around and use as a weapon. He has length and a large catch radius. He still has room to grow into his frame, and that's partly the reason why I prefer him as a Tight End; he should get over 220 lbs and can be a mismatch if he goes that direction. Coy is someone who has good footwork, plays above the rim, has good ball tracking skills, and movement patterns are good. He transitions upfield easily with little wasted movement. Orem might have a log jam at Tight End, so he might play the big slot or fill in as a boundary receiver, but if they slot him as an H-Back and get him in motion, he is a player that can have a big season. There are traits to like with Coy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Lucas Larronda","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"220","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2407","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Westlake","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681ffe3a69ecd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br><br>Larronda is a big-bodied, athletic player with good footwork and showcases good hip sink for a player at his position. He is a player that is a fit with the modern day tight end, get him in space and get him moving to be used as a chess piece, as he is too fast and athletic for Linebackers and too big and physical for Safeties. Larronda has a chance to become a key weapon in the offense, as there are vacated targets to be consumed. He's an interesting prospect for the class, and further development and production could see him getting recruited late in the cycle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were five Tight Ends to keep tabs on as they can be difference makers under the Friday night light's. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
