Look for junior tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders to follow up on his record-breaking debut season with another massive year for Texas.
Who’s gone:It’s not a stretch to label junior Ja’Tavion Sanders as the most athletically gifted tight end in the history of Texas football. At the very least, he’s on par with former Longhorn Jermichael Finley. And by the end of next season, the 6-foot-4 wunderkind could stake an outright claim to being the greatest pass-catching tight end to ever play for Texas.
Among Big 12 tight ends, Sanders ranked first in receiving yards, receptions and yards after catch , third in Pro Football Focus' receiving grade and third in touchdowns . And with another offseason of development under tight ends coach Jeff Banks, Texas is expecting even more from Sanders as both a receiver and blocker in 2023.
Sarkisian often employs 12 personnel sets, meaning he has two tight ends on the field. In those formations last year, Texas typically used fellow 2021 signee Gunnar Helm opposite Sanders. Helm is still a work in progress, and if Sanders goes down there’s no one capable of providing the same sort of dynamic offense at the tight end position. Same goes for fellow junior Juan Davis, a converted quarterback who’s still coming into his own as the team’s No. 3 tight end. Davis has played in 15 career games, spending most of his time on special teams.
