Quote:I am a HS football coach in Texas who loves the Longhorns and Caleb Blueitt because of what he did, the way he did it and because I have two friends that know him well and absolutely love the guy.


I fully believe you guys got a steal in Blueitt and are going to be really glad he is on your team. I'm not saying he will go to the Pro Bowl, but unless yall are really good at tight end, this one should stick and be a very valuable member of your team.


Blueitt had just about everything at Texas go goofy and it kept him from ever really getting a full opportunity to show what he could do. He had three head coaches, played two positions and had four offensive coordinators.


He came in as a defensive end but, due to need, moved to tight end. Then he was returned to defense. Then he moved to offense. Nobody seems to have ever heard him complain "make up your mind!"


His junior year, our only real QB that was capable of completing anything more difficult than a swing pass had his career ended in the first game of the season. His senior year, he played under an offensive coordinator who would flat out tell you he wasn't throwing to the tight end. All he wanted the tight end to do was block as either an in line guy or as an h-back. On the few occasions Blu got to run a pass route, it was pretty much just to try to make the defense cover the middle - so we could throw outside.


Don't know just how good his hands are because we threw to him so rarely, but I watched every game and don't recall him ever dropping a pass and he made a few big catches. As a blocker, he did an outstanding job. He is supposedly a super nice guy off the field, but he blocks with an attitude. He isn't a blazer, speed wise, but he isn't slow. Probably a legit 4.8 guy. He had a nice long catch against Baylor to help us upset them in 2015.


He also has been a real leader from every account I have read/heard. He isn't afraid to play bad cop to get teammates on task and serious about their jobs.


The young man deserves far more success than he has been given so far. I hope yall end up loving him as much as we do and adopt him into your team and community!
