TE: Evan Engram (Ole Miss)

No tight end in the country has been a more consistent threat from week to week than Evan Engram at Ole Miss. The 6’3″, 215-pound senior has provided Rebels quarterback Chad Kelly with one of the best receiving threats in the country. Taking advantage of his size and ability to separate from defenders, Hugh Freeze has turned Engram into the most dangerous pass-catching tight end in college football.

Engram leads all tight ends nationally with 5.7 receptions and 86.4 receiving yards per game. He is also second in the country in receiving touchdowns among tight ends. Already the all-time leader in Ole Miss history for receptions and receiving yards at his position, Engram also passed the mark for touchdowns midway through this season. Sure to be a high draft choice in the NFL next year, Engram should finish his college career as a unanimous All-American selection.
