'18 TN OT Walker Culver (Signed to Virginia Tech)

Haigler is another guy who was mostly a TE in high school. Buffs have had a lot of success developing these types of players into excellent OTs in college.
 
They never played TE at CU.

David and Ryan didn't play TE in high school....

Do they have any success turning any players into TEs?

They haven't even been able to turn TEs into TEs.

The HS TE to OT thing makes a lot of sense. Often if a HS team has an athletic big guy playing him at TE lets them use him for the most things. He can still block for the running game and from TE it's easier to set an edge for wide runs, they can also use him on basic pass patterns or motion him to the side with the best edge pass rusher to protect.
 
Welcome aboard Big Boy. Love seeing these kids from this part of the country taking notice of the mighty Buffs.
 
Now added a North Carolina offer. Absolutely blown up since CU first offered.
 
So, the good news is the staff definitely demonstrated an eye for talent finding this guy early on. The bad news is now they have to worry about him flipping.
