Neither Malcolm Colvin nor Bailey Lenoir can recall a time he lined up out wide.
Welcome to the new University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football offense.
It’s very multiple under new head coach Tom Arth: one-receiver sets, two-receiver sets, three-receiver sets, running backs lined up as receivers.
And tight ends doubling as wide receivers.
UTC’s tight end position, which totaled nine pass receptions over the last two seasons, could be used in a variety of ways this year. Two of those nine catches resulted in touchdowns – one each by Colvin and Lenoir in 2016 – and their group could become both more productive as well as versatile.
