3. Kenny Yeboah, TE, Ole Miss
Kenny Yeboah is a red-shirt senior, graduate transfer from Temple, who decided to team up with creative play caller, Lane Kiffin, and strong armed quarterback, Matt Corral, in Oxford, Mississippi. Yeboah might not jump off the tape with his athleticism, but his ability to work into space and give his quarterback a reliable target makes him a really exciting player. One who could show out at the Senior Bowl.
He is a 6-foot-5, 230-pound tight end who feasts over the middle of the field. What makes Yeboah such an interesting player is his YAC ability. He is currently among the CFB leaders in yards after catch and is the leader among tight ends. Yeboah gives whoever his quarterback is a strong handed option who is able to gain yardage in big chunks.
Tight end is not a very important position in the national football league these days, but a solid receiving option will never be ignored. Any player who can open up the field and be a downfield receiving option will have value in the NFL, and that’s the value that Yeboah brings.
Kenny Yeboah could end up as a favorite target for his Senior Bowl quarterbacks, and with that comes some exciting football.
