"Kyle is a very physical football player and has the ability to be as good of a tight end as there is in the Big 12. He was a little inconsistent last season in catching the football. But he worked hard on that during the spring and I think he has a chance to be a really complete tight end." - Rick Dykes, offensive coordinator
