Flenard Whitfield brings rare two-sport toughness and a 6-foot-6 frame to Western Michigan
Whitfield is a former basketball standout who added football to the mix at Western Michigan, and that crossover shows up in his size, coordination, and feel for space. In his football bio, he was listed at 6-6 and 240 pounds, with 2012 game action as a redshirt walk-on tight end and no recorded receiving stats that season. The real sell here is upside: a long, athletic body, competitive edge, and the kind of multi-sport background that can translate into sneaky matchup value if a team wants a developmental TE with physical tools and a little extra juice.
