Clemson’s deep-cut TE with a blocker’s mindset
In Clemson’s 2016 season, Grant Radakovich logged 1 reception for 8 yards, but his value came more from dirty-work tight end stuff than box-score flash: he was a graduate transfer walk-on who earned trust as a dependable lead blocker and team-first presence. Clemson listed him as a tight end on its roster, and Mercer’s bio notes he played the position there as a 6-foot-1, 247-pound former starter who handled blocking responsibilities well. If your team wants a blue-collar, low-ego tight end who brings maturity and system buy-in, he’s the kind of player coaches usually love even if the stats stay modest.
