Steve Buches brings veteran tight-end reliability to Pitt’s offense
In the 2006 season, Steve Buches was a redshirt senior tight end at Pitt, and the big selling point is his two-way value: scouting notes describe him as an experienced, highly valued contributor with effective run blocking and pass catching, plus 33 career games under his belt entering his senior year. He had already shown real production in earlier seasons, including 17 catches for 168 yards and two touchdowns in 2005, and four catches for 94 yards and four touchdowns in 2004. If you want a steady, mature TE who helps both the ground game and the red zone, he’s the kind of “trust the tape” player coaches love.
