Class of 2007: Tight Ends

1 Aaron Hernandez TE/DL 6'4 225 4.66 Bristol Central Connecticut Florida Hernandez is the rare national-caliber prospect out of Connecticut. He was the state Player of the Year as a junior. He is a talented two-way player who put up great numbers his junior season. On offense he led the state with 67 receptions for a state-record 1,807 receiving yards and 24 TDs, incredible numbers for a 6-4 TE! Actually, he spent much of his time splitting out as a WR. At DE he tallied 72 tackles, 12 sacks, 4 forced four fumbles and blocked one punt and three kicks. As a sophomore he had 28 receptions for 284 yards and 5 TDs, 45 tackles and 10 sacks for minus 96 yards. A multi-sport star on the prep level. He has great quickness for his size and is a real difference-maker. He has very soft hands and can either overpower (nearly 400 pound bench) or outquick the defender. Hernandez initially committed to Connecticut back in the summer of 2005, but in April he decommitted from UCONN and committed to Florida. 1-Hartford Courant-AS (DL; State PoY) OFFERS: UCONN,IA,FLA

2 Mike Ragone TE/DL/LB 6'5 230 4.40 Camden Catholic New Jersey Notre Dame Ragone is one of the nation's elite prospects and is perhaps the top TE in the nation. He has excellent speed and quickness along with a frame that should really fill out. As a junior he had 6 TDs of over 60 yards and even returned a kick 80 yards for a TD, quite impressive for a 6-5 TE! He also uses his leverage well as a blocker, probably a result of his outstanding abilities as a wrestler. He committed to Notre Dame in April.

On defense, he had 50 tackles, five for losses, and recovered two fumbles. Also a fine student. One college coach said the following about him: "Gronkowski has great heiht and the frame to really fill out in college. He also runs well and has soft hands. We like him a lot.".

He comes from an area that produces a lot of athletes, especially basketball players, but his future is in football. He's a very smooth athlete and has the size and athleticism to really be a standout TE in the Big Ten. He will need to focus on getting bigger and improving his blocking."

9 Kyle Singler TE/DB/QB 6'7 210 4.60 South Medford Oregon I'm listing Kyle as a TE prospect even though he will probably just play basketball in college, where he is a blue-chip recruit at SF being pursued by the likes of Duke and UCLA. Singler is one of the great multi-sport athletes to emerge out of the pacific northwest in recent history. As a football player he has been hampered a bit by injuries and played out of position at QB as a junior, where he passed for almost 1000 yards. He shines, however, as a TE, where he earned all-state honors as a sophomore. He has the sort of athleticism and quickness for his size to have also earned all-state honors as a DB, which is really something for somebody who is 6'7. As a sophomore he caught 43 passes for 610 yards and 6 TDs last season. If he were to focus just on football and gain some strength he would have topped my listing of TEs. PS-Top 10 4A QBs
