a versatile Oregon TE with sneaky all-around value
In the 2003 season, Dan Kause gave Oregon a dependable, multi-purpose tight end/H-back option, contributing as a receiver and even adding value in the return game—evidence of a coach-friendly, do-everything skill set. Listed at 6-4, 252, he brings size, athleticism, and early readiness, and the roster notes from that era describe him as a natural athlete who earned playing time quickly in Oregon’s multiple-tight-end system. If you want a physical, adaptable piece who can help in several spots rather than just flash in one, Kause fits the mold.
