In 2009, many fans had a crazy notion that it would be the “Year of the Tight End” for Michigan. I had a spirited discussion with several Michigan fanatics that insisted Kevin Koger would approximate Missouri’s Chase Coffman or Oklahoma’s Jemaine Gresham. Instead, Koger ended the year with 16 catches for 220 yards and 2 touchdowns. Those numbers aren’t chump change, but they’re certainly not indicative of Rich Rodriguez becoming enthralled with the tight end position.
Koger will be a junior in 2010 and his backup, Martell Webb, will be a senior. The only other tight end on the roster will be redshirt sophomore Brandon Moore, so I think the coaching staff will recruit tight ends more heavily in 2011.

It could've been the year of the tight end if both TEs hadn't had a case of the dropsies right in the middle of the season… wonder what numbers Koger and Webb both would have had even if they caught those and had no YAC?
