Watched him a little yesterday. Announcers said he’s regarded as best TE in country he plays both in line and out wide.

I’d be all for a Big 10 TE. Ferentz runs a pro offense so he’d be able to do both block and catch.

In 5 games this year he has 19 catches for 196 yards and 5 TDs

He’s 6-5 241 and a junior so it’s up to him if he wants to come out

If we can't get home there is a kid for Stanford who is suppose to be good also.

Offseason testing numbers are always a bit of an "urban legend", but Fant supposedly had a 41" vertical in his spring workouts. I think Saquon Barkley put up 40".

6'5" 241, Saquon Barkley-ish leg explosion, plays a true Y role in a pro style offense, heck yeah, let's bring him in. This team is pretty much a lock to finish with a top 20 pick, so if we're out of position for a QB, Fant will be one of those guys on my early 1st round radar.

The other one is Albert O who is currently being coached with Derek Dooley. I'm hoping Garrett and Linehan are sacked but if not he's probably a good fit for our system.

Isn't he the Mizzou Tight end? I like him and CJ Conrad of Kentucky.

They actually have 2 Draftable tight ends(im a hawkeyes fan) . TJ Hockenson is the other one. They both can block but Tj is better. Fant is a matchup problem, he always seems open. Fant is the better receiver. The kid will be good. Real good. The QB isnt too bad either...

Ive been calling for a TE for the last five years.
Fant would be a great choice.

It doesn’t matter. Garrett wants TEs that blocks like oline men or they don’t want him. Blocking before being a offensive weapon.

I like the TE from Vanderbilt too, Jared Pinkney...
