Losing Mike Ragone for the season might worry some, but really, this is “Tight-End U.”

 

After conversing with Kyle Rudolph at the spring game, we really shouldn’t worry about his mental approach.

He even passes the eyeball test in regards to physical size.

The question should really be, can Will Yeatman increase his numbers from last year?

And can Luke Schmidt make the transition from full back to H-back/situational TE?

While no one can answer these questions definitively, we can all agree to take solace in the fact that Notre Dame produces tight ends on a seemingly regular basis.

And having the nation’s former No. 1 tight end in our fold (Kyle Rudolph) should only increase our chances for a productive season from that position.

    Yea, I'm not really worried about it. I mean we go from having 4 tight ends with little to no game experience to . . . well, pretty much the same thing. Kyle Rudolph will be very good anyway. Plus Ragone will probably even gain another year of eligibility.

    Yeatman and Schmidt may get the nod to start out with but not only our future but our present should preside in Kyle Rudolph...I saw one of his interviews on BlueGold.com and he seems really sharp...if he can make it mentally he will have a HUGE impact this year...especially in the red zone
