In today’s age of high-flying offenses across the college football landscape, tight ends seem to have taken a backseat to the wide receivers. But don’t let that fool you, there are plenty of tight ends who can take over games as receivers.
The best tight end in the country resides in Athens, Georgia. Brock Bowers burst onto the scene as a freshman with the Bulldogs helping them win their first national championship in 40 years. He was just as dangerous last season as well.
There might be no better program for developing tight ends than the Iowa Hawkeyes. They have produced George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and T.J. Hockenson among others.
