Arizona Wildcats TE Who Gritted Through as Blocker and Special Teamer
Josh Kern, a 6-5, 229-pound tight end for the Arizona Wildcats from the class of 2012, transitioned from quarterback to TE before the 2014 season and shone in 2015 with appearances in all 13 games—including two starts—primarily as a reliable blocker in the zone run-option scheme and on special teams. His high school pedigree (1,020 passing yards, 7 TDs as a junior) highlights untapped athleticism, making him a gritty, versatile fit for teams needing tough, physical presences over flash stats—no major injury flags, just pure hustle that elevates trenches play.
