This would be a good grab, but TE isn't necessarily an area of need
It'd be really nice if we maintained the option to run 12 personnel with 2 mega talented TEs. Doesn't look like Olesh recorded any stats this year--but if our coaches are sniffing around, they have a really good track record at judging talent. I am definitely open to grabbing another TE.

Cade Uluave, linebacker out of Cal, is in the portal. Would be a half step up from Boettcher (no disrespect intended) and give the room another year to grow.

I believe I saw Oregon was currently at around 80 scholarship guys but they'll likely lose a few more to the NFL or transfer so will be taking 10-15 players.
