I don't know much about his role on the team. He's listed as TE/DL, so will he start?

[BullMedic]

Awesome. The more weapons we have on offense the better. Hope he can prove to be as effective as Cedric Hill.

[Greg Auman]

No, he won't start. He'll compete for time as a backup tight end. He's easily the biggest tight end on roster if he sticks at that position.

I thought I had seen that he was big enough to move to DLine, but it would seem DE is more likely than DT, right?

What does it mean?

UCiF forum trolls get to talk trash about Pupello and how USF is "cheating" the NCAA via these hardship waivers.

haha Did you see the spring game? He is a beast. He will be perfect to rotate in. He will get alot of playing time. Im sure Bull nation will be presently suprised with the effort this kid will bring us. It looks like this will work out well.

Means we got depth at TE. I think Cedric Hill may step it up this year thou (fingers crossed) so just an extra good blocker

no doubt ced is the guy, but this is a good thing. It pumps me up and Its too long away.

I love Ced as a pass catching TE.  Think he is one of the best weapons we have on offense.  With that said, doesn't he only weight like 225lbs?  Pupello is 270+, imagine the run blocking this guy could provide.  I bet Ford, Taylor and crew are excited if he ends up staying a TE.
