There has been this narrative that Auburn football has not used a tight end since 2013, in which CJ Uzomah was featured in the Gus Malzahn offense. “Auburn University is where tight ends go to die” is the best way to describe the perception of the Auburn football offense.
This perception is projected to die under Bryan Harsin and the new offensive scheme under Mike Bobo and it is showing on the recruiting trail.
