Clemson’s production at the tight end position, in terms of catches and yards, has been limited over the last few seasons since Jordan Leggett, one of the best tight ends in program history, departed for the NFL.
In 2015 and 2016, Leggett totaled 86 receptions for 1,261 yards and 15 touchdowns, while averaging 14.6 yards per catch. In the three seasons since the former All-American moved on to the NFL, eight Clemson tight ends have combined to catch just 66 passes for 656 yards and four touchdowns. They averaged just 9.9 yards per reception.
In 2019, six Clemson tight ends combined to catch only 26 passes for 239 yards and zero touchdowns.
