The initial hype of the early signing period has died down, but there was a ton of talent to explore and so much so we are breaking it down by position. We have already dived into the top five quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers to sign with Big Ten teams and now we want to break down a position where Ohio State is looking to replace a huge starter in tight end.
The Big Ten snagged five of the top 20 tight end recruits in the class of 2024 and they also snagged the top two rated in the country. Unfortunately, not only do the Buckeyes not have anyone on this list, but The Team Up North has two players on this list.
It should be no surprise that Iowa makes an appearance and the flashier offenses from the West Coast are left off, but enough with the introduction, let’s dive into the top five tight ends in the class to sign with Big Ten teams according to 247Sports.

Early enrollee Gavin Hoffman brings high upside to tight end room:
"I think Gavin has a real enthusiasm for the game. He has a good skill set. We think great growth potential."https://t.co/moku90s9pH
