Tulane Football Position Preview – Tight Ends
Aug 26, 2019 | Football
NEW ORLEANS – The tight end position with the Tulane football team will feature a wealth of young talent, as the six-player unit features no juniors or seniors.
In 2018, Tulane tight ends helped pave the way for Tulane's offense to pile up over 5,200 yards of total offense (5,214).
THE UNIT
-Redshirt sophomore Will Wallace returns to the lineup after seeing significant action in 2018.
-As a redshirt freshman a year ago, Wallace appeared in 11 games and made six starts. He also averaged 5.3 yards per catch.
-Tulane will look to sophomores Keitha Jones Jr., Tyrick James and Connor Prouet to contribute this fall.
-Charles Jones II, who was the unit's leading pass catcher from a year ago, graduated and signed a professional contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
-In addition, Tulane welcomed freshmen Keshon Williams and Connor Richardson from the 2019 Signing Class.
-Slade Nagle begins his fourth season coaching the Green Wave tight ends.
POSITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
-Tulane tight ends helped pave the way for the Green Wave to rush for over 200 yards in six games a year ago.
-The Green Wave averaged 218.2 yards per game on the ground, which ranked 23rd among Football Bowl Subdivision teams and fifth in The American.
-Tulane's rushing attack also proved to be one of the most explosive in the country as the Green Wave was tied for sixth nationally in rushes of 30 yards or more.
Tulane opens the 2019 season on Thursday, August 29 at home against FIU with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. The Green Wave are coming off a memorable 2018 campaign that was highlighted by a win in the AutoNation Cure Bowl and an American Athletic Conference West Division Co-Championship.
