This Season

The tight end room got an overhaul over the offseason, with plenty of fresh faces. Sharp joins Jake Roberts and Davon Mitchell as new additions, with Kaden Helms, Kade McIntyre, and Josh Fanuiel returning. Few players were talked about more over the offseason than Sharp, who consistently found ways to get open and make plays in practice. Despite being a relatively unheralded transfer at the time, Sharp has worked his way into exciting hype with the season around the corner.
