It isn't like we ignore our Tight Ends in the receiving game, Tressel just expects them to be excellent blockers. They mostly operate as safety outlets, but that's also partly because we haven't had a really good receiving Tight End in a while. Fragel doesn't seem like that will change, but he looks to have the frame and athleticism to still be a great Big Ten Tight End.

and thats why they are not going to waste his good feet and frame as a blocking TE. He will be a Tackle before all is said and done. He can easily add the weight needed and has great feet. blocking te's are a dime a dozen, this kid could be a future top 5 draft pick as a OT.
