Veteran Nevada tight end Evan Faunce built on blocking first, with a tiny-but-tough receiving résumé
In the 2015 season, Evan Faunce logged 1 catch for 18 yards for Nevada, but the real value was in the dirty work: he was used as a key blocking tight end in a ground game that averaged 210 rushing yards per game and ranked 25th nationally. His profile says “team first” more than “feature target” — a physical, dependable inline TE who helps the run game and doesn’t need touches to matter. He’s the kind of player coaches trust for assignment football, not splash plays.
