After finishing off the defensive side of the ball last week, we now turn our attention to the offensive side of the ball. We start with tight ends.

Who's Gone?
None.
Who's Back?
Noah Togiai, JR
Tuli Wily-Matagi, SO
Given how well Wily-Matagi impressed in spring practice, the Beavers could have a nice bit of depth at the tight end position. After Togiai was lost for the season last year, the tight end position was really ineffectiveness. Tight ends coach Dave Baldwin admitted that many packages for the position had to be “thrown out” with Togiai not being able to play. Now that he is 100 percent healthy and Wily-Matagi is maturing, the Beavers could have a formidable punch at the tight end position.
Who's Coming In?
Joah Robinett, SO
Robinett made the transition from linebacker to tight end just after fall camp. The intriguing thing about Robinett is his size. He was oversized for a linebacker at 6’8 236, but the size at tight end is intriguing. If he can make the transition smoothly, the Beavers could have a weapon that no defensive back or safety can possibly cover.
