Name: Hunter Neff
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 237 lbs.
High school: Chelsea (MI) Chelsea
Position: Tight end
Class: Redshirt junior
Jersey number: #80
Last year: I ranked Neff #116 and said he would be a backup tight end (LINK). He did not play in any games.
TTB Rating: N/A

Neff is an undersized tight end at 6'2" and 237 lbs. So chances for him to get on the field are pretty slim. Michigan has also stacked up a pretty talented tight end room with a couple starter-quality seniors and several 4-star backups. Perhaps Neff can help replicate a fullback on the scout team or play on special teams, but as for playing time on offense, I wouldn't expect to see #80 out there much at all.

Prediction: Backup tight end
