Name: Noah Howes
Height:
6'5"
Weight:
234 lbs.
High school:
Rochester (MI) Rochester
Position:
Tight end
Class:
Redshirt freshman
Jersey number:
#45
Last year:
I ranked Howes #131 and said he would redshirt (LINK). He redshirted.
TTB Rating:
N/A

Howes was listed at 6'4" and 250 lbs. when he entered Michigan a year ago, which is borderline freshman offensive lineman size - especially if you're headed to a military academy to play football, which was an option. Now an inch taller and down 16 pounds - at least according to published measurements - he looks more like a viable tight end.

I like Howes and think he might have a future as a blocking tight end down the road, but Michigan's tight end room is pretty solid with a full complement of scholarship tight ends and even a playable walk-on in Carter Selzer. If Howes continues to add size and strength, he may become the Carter Selzer of the future. For now he's probably just a scout team guy.

Prediction: Backup tight end
