Michigan Football: Jake Butt Could Win the Mackey Award

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.
