Michael Egnew came into this season as the predicted #1 tight end in college football based off of last years stats (83 catches and almost 700 yards receiving). But, a backup tight end at UCLA is coming to steal Egnew's crown. In the first two weeks of the season Joseph Fauria of UCLA has 7 catches for 124 yards and two touchdowns. He has looked impressive and is only going to get more involved with the offense of the Bruins as he emerges from the backup tight end role into a star. Egnew's role has been downgraded a bit with the rising relationship of T.J. Moe at wideout and Missouri QB James Franklin. In two games and with the facts at hand, I would take Fauria to have the better season that veteran Egnew. BOLD.
