Tight end

The LA Rams will need to buy some time at the tight end position. Tyler Higbee, who has had an issue with injuries, may prove to be a player who Los Angeles will want to replace.

Higbee, from Western Kentucky, has been a good soldier. However, the Rams may want to move in a different direction. The 2023 NFL Draft is the venue to make that change.

Will The LA Rams Replace TE Tyler Higbee In 2023?

Tucker Kraft is a tight-end prospect from South Dakota State. Standing at a height of 6-foot-5, he’s a big kid with good hands and a big target.

The versatile athlete from Timber Lake High School played several positions on his way to his current position.

Kraft excelled at running back, middle linebacker, and punter on the football team. As a senior, Kraft rushed for 1,405 yards and 24 touchdowns and was named first-team All-State. He committed to playing college football for the Jackrabbits versus accepting a late offer from Wyoming.

Kraft redshirted his true freshman season. He caught seven passes for 90 yards during the spring 2021 season, which was delayed from the fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a redshirt sophomore, Kraft started all 15 of South Dakota State’s games and had 65 receptions for 780 yards and six touchdowns.

Kraft was named first-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) and a consensus FCS All-American.
