Spring practice begins next week so we will breakdown each position group as we gear up for football season. Note: We will not guess on what impact freshmen who are not on campus yet will have on the team.

Tight Ends

Position Coach: Justin Burke (3rd season at USF)

Key Losses: None

Key Returners: Mitch Wilcox (43 catches, 540 yards, 2 TD), Jacob Mathis

Offensive building block Mitch Wilcox chose to remain at USF for his senior season as opposed to entering the NFL draft, which boosts the offense quite a bit and gives the tight end position a veteran presence that would be otherwise lacking.
