The following dates back to late March and is a comment from UConn’s head coach, Randy Edsall, about the state of the tight end position for the Huskies. It was included in a Huskies-related blog in a Hartford newspaper.
He said TE John Delahunt is coming along very well and could push Ryan Griffin.
“We’d like to get the whole tight end position involved (in the offense)…I think John Delahunt has had a tremendous winter and I think that’s going to put more pressure on Ryan Griffin. So between those guys and Corey Manning there is tremendous competition there but John Delahunt has done a good job in terms of slimming his body down and doing things where (now) I think he’s putting some pressure on Ryan and Ryan’s got the ability but that’s where I think the competition is a good thing.”
The most recent depth chart I’ve seen list Delahunt as being on the second team.
