Big-bodied Akron tight end with a proven red-zone pulse
In the 2012 season, Rhyne Ladrach gave Akron a dependable, in-line TE presence at 6-5 and 250 pounds, appearing in all 12 games with 10 starts and posting 11 catches for 62 yards, including a season-best four receptions against Central Michigan.[1][11][12] His value is less about flashy numbers and more about role reliability: he worked as a sturdy target who could stay on the field, help physically at the point of attack, and chip in on special-teams-style grit with tackles logged that year.[1][12] If a team wants a tough, experienced, no-drama tight end who understands assignment football, Ladrach fits the mold.[1][12]
