Josh Gattis has said he likes tight ends on the field. He likes to rotate players given a certain situation. Gattis prefers to have players who he can plug in and not miss a beat. Tight ends are counted on heavily in the new coordinator’s system. Sean McKeon and Nick Eubanks are thought to be the top two tight ends for Michigan football this spring. Erick All, though is making a push.
Also in Gattis’ offense tight ends will be a factor in the quarterback run game and the blocking for H-backs.
