Jake Butt has been named to the Mackey Award (given to college football’s most outstanding tight end) watch list. While being on the watch list doesn’t mean much, Butt has a real chance to win the award. The junior tight end is in a great position, with Jim Harbaugh running the show, to breakout and a have a huge year. He will be an integral part of Tim Drevno’s offense.
Butt has elite size and a great skill set. At 6-foot-6, 248 pounds he towers over defenders, and still has the athletic ability to get separation from linebackers.
