5. TE Ethan Wolf
Wolf came out of the gates looking like a superstar, tallying 13 catches for 115 yards over the first three games. For perspective, that’s more yardage than the entire tight end position had in all of 2013. But his pace slowed a bit as he battled a knee injury, making just four catches over the next four weeks. He recorded zero catches over the last two weeks of the season, coinciding with an overall slowdown of the offense.
There are several factors that might’ve played into that. The tight ends had to be used in maximum protection in several situations. Wolf also might’ve hit the freshman wall and he was banged up a bit too. Regardless, this will be a good time for Wolf, and fellow freshman tight end Daniel Helm, to get their legs back and see if they can bring a little more production back to the position. Watch out for redshirting freshman Neiko Creamer at this spot as well as he tries to make his case for playing time next year.
