Michael Mayer, Covington Catholic, Tight End

 

Ranked #226 in nation (#5 TE); #2 recruit in KY.

 

Vito Tisdale, S, Bowling Green is currently ranked #1 in KY.

 

The cream of that 2020 class in Kentucky is special. Tisdale and Mayer should both be in the conversation for best at their respective positions nationally and have their pick of any college destination they want.

 

Mayer is going to be a match-up nightmare for every opponent CovCath sees the next two years.

Pretty cool article about Michael Mayer on ND's rival site... hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting the link...

 

It's just not that often we see a local kid get this much publicity at a major school like ND..

Right now I'm saying Notre Dame but hope UK makes a giant push for this young man

He should take a look at Purdue. I'm sure Coach Brohm would find a very productive position for him.

Hopefully he looks right on past Kentucky because that place is a graveyard to highly regarded players.

Personal opinion, but of the programs that have offered to him, I think Wisconsin and Notre Dame are the two most ideal fits for Michael right now.

Wisconsin is a good place for a TE?

Absolutely. Typically the #1 receiver in their system year in and year out. Huge, huge roll in run blocking for their ever potent run game. Besides that, For some reason TE’s are always fan favorites in Madison too.

I would put Penn St. right up there in the mix as a great home for a TE.

I don't follow Wisconsin football at all and was not aware they used the tight end that that much. Any time I have watched them it seemed like they were very run focused. Any of their tight ends playing in the NFL?

3 in the NFL now. Yeah, run heavy but when they pass, TE is usually the first option.

UC has several in the NFL.

Interesting....other than Travis Kelce, what other UC TE is currently on a NFL team. I know they had one drafted 4 or 5 years ago but I don’t think he’s in the league any more. That’s impressive if they have several TE’s in the NFL.
