Miles Onyegbule to play TE

[thetruth]

Per Mack Brown's twitter account, the following was said:

"Decided 2day we're gonna give Miles Onyegbule a good look @ TE starting this PM. Big, strong, great hands. Really think he can help us there"

First I think this is a good move but secondly this underscores the need for a TRUE TIGHT END AT TEXAS. Evidently Mack is not satisfied with MJ McFarland or DJ Grant (or Trey Graham or Jackson Crawley, etc...) This team has almost as many Tight ends on the roster as they do kickers. The lack of blocking ability must have forced Mack to make the change but can Durham Smythe get here soon?? We need a true tight end.

He is pretty big. Watching practice on the LHN shows that 17 is pretty dang big. I'm sure he won't be able to block yet because it gets nasty down in the trenches. Surely this says something about Coach Brown's faith in the current guys at the position.
