. He is, however, a really good defensive end as well. There’s no plan, as of right now, to consider that possibility to my knowledge.
I have just been throwing it out into the universe because Flanagan could potentially contribute on the defensive side of the football.
His film at defensive end is impressive and there also might be an easier path to playing time earlier on at that position.
It is extremely possible that there could be a bit of a logjam at tight end over the next couple of seasons.
Could Joshua Burnham and Aiden Gobaira be the next guys up and both be studs at Vyper? Without question.
At this point, we have seen very little of both outside of practice reps.
I just wouldn’t completely rule it out that demand could open up opportunities for Flanagan over his first couple seasons in South Bend.
Our recruiting analyst Shaun Davis was on that rumor quick and made the message board fully aware of the situation.

There was nothing really to it. They are the home state power and some Michigan high schoolers went to visit.
