per Greder:
The Gophers football team had the worst pass-catching production from tight ends in the Big Ten last season.
All 13 other programs had at least one tight end catch more passes than all of Minnesota’s tight ends combined in 2018. Half the conference’s teams had two or three tight ends catch more than the six total receptions from the Gophers’ Bryce Witham, Ko Kieft and Jake Paulson a year ago.
But the U has ingredients for change in 2019. The biggest source of optimism is redshirt freshman Brevyn Spann-Ford.
The St. Cloud Tech alum didn’t catch a pass in four games a year ago, but the best-rated player from the state of Minnesota in the 2018 class looks like a handful. At 6-foot-7 and up to 270 pounds, Spann-Ford has been channeling his high school basketball days by winning jump balls in the corner of the end zone during preseason camp.
