410-pound LaQuan McGowan in the running to be Baylor's starting TE

Baylor’s post-spring depth chart has been released and offensive lineman LaQuan McGowan could be a mainstay in the Bears’ passing game.

McGowan is listed as the “OR” option for the starting tight end spot.

McGowan’s rise from backup offensive lineman to pass-catching sensation has been well documented. He caught an 18-yard touchdown pass against Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl, which pretty much broke the Internet, and has been working with the tight ends ever since. Baylor even posted a video of him making several one-handed catches during warmups before a spring practice.

McGowan, who is listed at 6-foot-7, 410 pounds, would be the biggest tight end in the FBS, but it’s clear he’s got the skill to play the position. And let’s be honest, the prospect of the big man hauling in passes, barreling downfield and trucking some poor 180-pound defensive back is something we all want to see.

So here’s to McGowan getting on the field this fall and making college football better for it.
