PROVO — While other tight ends within the program are working to become complete tight ends by improving their blocking skills, senior JJ Nwigwe is striving to become such with his pass-catching.
About eight months ago, the then offensive lineman didn't find himself on his position's depth chart the first day of fall practices. He wondered if it was an oversight, before coaches alerted him of a position change they felt would benefit both him and the team.
"They told me I was a tight end now, and I was like, 'Tight end? Um, OK, whatever you think is best,'" Nwigwe recalls.
