Mark Tate brings size and a blocking edge to Hawaii’s receiver room
Mark Tate is listed on Hawaii’s roster as a wide receiver, but the most useful thing to know is that he brings a bigger-bodied, physical presence to a run-and-shoot offense that loves versatile WRs. The public roster and depth-chart listings show him in the mix at receiver, while older Hawaii coverage highlights that he chose the Rainbow Warriors with the pitch of becoming a real pass-catcher rather than a blocker. For a team, that suggests a player whose value may go beyond box-score stats: contested catches, toughness, and a willingness to do the dirty work.
