TOP 10 TIGHT ENDS
1 - Kyle Begger, Sr., Montana State
Comment: New starter should be big key to MSU passing game.

3 - Matt Martin, Sr., Eastern Washington
Comment: Has some big shoes to fill in Cheney.
4- Tyrell Francisco, Sr., Weber State
Comment: Two-year understudy could benefit from the return of QB Higgins.
5 - Rob Overton, Sr., Montana
Comment: Is counted on to pick up key production in Griz offense.
6 - Jon Krebs, Jr., Sacramento State
Comment: Has wide-receiver size but is quality in tight end spot.
7 - Doug Steele, Soph., Northern Colorado
Comment: Productive JC player looking to make impact in move up.
8 - Josh Hill, Soph., Idaho State
Comment: Needs to step up to help ISU's offense,
9 - Greg Hardy, Soph., Montana
Comment: Unproven but likely to get quality playing time for UM.
10 - Taylor Meyrick, Fr., Portland State
Comment: Might not make an impact in 2010 but potential is enormous.
A lot of new starters in this field, so it's really a crapshoot. As for Montana, Hardy might push Overton thanks to his receiving skills, which will come in handy in the new offense. Of course, with a lot of turnover on the O-line, some extra blocking skills might also come in handy...it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
