Tight End #2: Parker Eichenberger – Houston – 3 star prospect

The second tight end on our list is a very recent addition to the transfer portal, that being Parker Eichenberger.  Eichenberger is another tight end who just has not received a chance at the college level really, despite playing in 45 career games.

Parker is a high-quality blocker, which is why his reception numbers are so low, as he is primarily utilized as a Y tight end.  Despite this, he has a good frame at 6’4″ 225 and could be utilized, if anything, as an in-line tight end addition for Florida football.
