Last week, rather than watching more film on Illinois (doing that before Kansas game made it more painful), I watched some happier highlights of past Rutgers contests instead. One of the video recaps that youtube autoplayed was the 2013 comeback win over Arkansas. In that game, a redshirt sophomore Tight End was simply awesome. Tyler Kroft made six catches for 133 yards and a touchdown. Interestingly, Kroft actually made his first career catch at Arkansas the season prior which went for 42 yards.
It would be unfair to expect Travis Vokolek to become as good as Kroft or any of the other great tight ends in the last 25 years of Rutgers football like Marco Battaglia or L.
