Analysis
“Tight ends (are) really deep, playmakers. Erick All. I think, in my opinion, his biggest competition for being the best tight end in the country will be Luke Schoonmaker and I think Luke Schoonmaker’s toughest competition to be best tight end in America will be Erick All. Honigford, Seltzer, Hibner.”
Those are the words of Jim Harbaugh at Big Ten media days, and it wouldn’t surprise us if either All or Schoonmaker won the Mackey Award this year. Though tight end rooms at Georgia, Notre Dame, and others appears to get much more respect, Michigan is absolutely loaded at the position. All is a fearless blocker and excellent receiver, Schoonmaker is just as good at both in his own right. All is a bit more explosive, but Schoonmaker is definitely a mismatch, particularly in short-yardage situations, as a receiver. Honigford is used almost strictly as a blocker, and Selzer is a leader in the room, likely to see increased production in his final year with the program.
Hibner has yet to see the field and is entering his third year with the program, and while big things are expected from Hansen, true freshman Loveland could see the field in year one due to his prowess as a receiver.
Up next, the equally loaded wide receiver room.
