Texas’ offense will look much different at the tight end position in 2022.
Tight end has always been a very important position in Steve Sarkisian’s offense. Sark runs lots of 12-personnel where multiple tight ends are on the field at one time. They must have the ability to block and make plays as a receiver.
The two guys who took the most snaps at tight end in 2021 will no longer be around next season.
Multi-year starter Cade Brewer wrapped up his final year of eligibility and Jared Wiley has entered the portal as a graduate transfer.
Brewer and Wiley combined for 251 receiving yards and five touchdowns during the 2021 season.
Texas does have some young talent at the position who fit the mold of what Sarkisian looks for in a tight end. Let’s take a look at some of the options Texas will have to replace Brewer and Wiley at tight end next season.
