Remember Missouri’s #TightEndU reputation during the late aughts? I do. It was awesome. Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman would catch over 800 yards in passes each and be the perfect redzone target for Chase Daniel. Michael Egnew carried that torch a little while longer, ending up with over 1,000 career yards in catches and earning unanimous 1st Team All-American status. But even with the brief glimpse of tight end magic from Albert Okwuegbunam, it’s been awhile since the Tigers have had a truly game-breaking tight end. Albert O came close from a touchdown standpoint but was never a good enough blocker or open-field threat and had injuries cut two of his season short.
