BYU football: Predicting the Cougars’ offensive depth chart

Tight End

Starter: Tanner Balderree

Backups/In The Mix: Matt Bushman, Moroni Laulu-Pututau

Balderree’s experience and blocking ability probably gets him the starting nod, but Bushman won’t be trailing by much. Bushman is the better athlete, and a more credible receiving threat (one only needs to look to the spring game).

Laulu-Pututau is still learning the position, but he and Tanner Mangum have great chemistry, so expect him to make some plays as well.
