Mismatch Potential: Kentucky’s 2029 TE Class

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The season kicks off next week, and today, we're checking out a few recruits who have all the traits and potential to break out this fall from the TE slot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["868415"],"_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-6a7f6bbc20ec1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller is a good two-way player with potential on both sides of the ball. He's a good receiver who isn't afraid to work over the middle, and he has the strength to block and play as a true end-of-line tight end. He's a plus in the running game and doesn't shy away from doing the dirty work. Defensively, he's good off the edge with solid pursuit and takes good angles to the ball. He's strong enough to play through contact and can get after the quarterback when turned loose. I actually like him a little better at tight end because of the combination of hands and blocking ability. The potential is pretty clear, and I'm hoping to see him put together a big year this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311369"],"_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-6a7f6bbc20f1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walsh is a versatile tight end who can help keep an offense on track in a lot of different ways. He's got good hands over the middle of the field and can be a reliable target when you need to move the chains. He can also get downfield and be a vertical threat. With his size and frame, he can be a real problem in the red zone and gives the quarterback a big target to throw to. I'm curious to see how he develops because the upside is definitely there, and he has the tools to become a complete tight end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2160355"],"_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-6a7f6bbc20f53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grainger is a good receiver who can add some different layers to an offense from the tight end spot. He looks comfortable working on the outside, has strong hands, and can catch and run when given space. He's tough to bring down after the catch and can break tackles to pick up extra yards. I like the versatility because you don't have to keep him attached to the line every snap. You can move him around, find matchups, and give the offense a lot to work with depending on what the defense is showing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1666462"],"_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-6a7f6bbc20f87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quaglio is a quick tight end who can add a lot to an offense because of what he brings in the passing game. He's got good hands and a pretty good route tree for a tight end, and he knows how to create separation at the top of his routes. I like how he catches the ball at full speed and immediately gets upfield instead of slowing down to secure it. Once the ball is in his hands, he's a strong runner who can bounce off contact and is tough to bring down. He gives you more than just a big target over the middle and can actually create after the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
