Auburn offers 4-star tight end Colston Loveland
Auburn and tight ends: that may be the new thing for the Tigers.
With seven (SEVEN!) tight ends on the 2021 roster and a new head coach and offensive coordinator determined to use them, it is attracting some o the top talents in the nation.
One is four-star Colston Loveland from Gooding High School in Gooding, Iahdo. He’s ranked the No. 13 tight end in the 2022 class by 247Sports and is a big target at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds.
Loveland is a former receiver who has bulked up and is now a traditional tight end, able to stay in-line and block, or split out wide and match up against linebackers or DBs. He’s a natural pass-catcher, with soft hands, good, crisp routes, and ball skills to go and high-point it. Can make people miss in the open field and routinely gets yards after the catch. Also plays defensive end, with good pass rushing ability, leverage and technique. Loveland is also a high-level basketball player and boasts a 79-inch wing-span.
Loveland recently picked up an offer from the Tigers and posted about it on Twitter.
