48 Brion Anduze

Anduze is a 6'3", 235, redshirt Freshman tight end from Central Kitsap HS, Silverdale, WA. A small school athlete, Anduze excelled on both sides of the ball. Arizona has chosen to use him as a tight end instead of as defensive end. Here is some of the analysis from Arizona Desert Swarm from signing day:
Based off the tape, it's easy to notice why people have labeled Anduze (#86) as an athlete. At Defensive End, Anduze posses a quick first step and a quality rip move to shed blockers. The key for him as a Defensive End prospect is that he wins at the line of scrimmage. When he does not he needs to work on a counter move or two to continually try to shed his blocker.
While he possesses traits to possibly become a Defensive End for Jeff Casteel, he will probably be switched over to the other side of the ball as a Tight End. For one, Anduze possesses natural hands and uses his hands instead of his body to catch the football. His size also makes him a potential mismatch problem at the next level as the Tight End has become all the rage for exploiting potential mismatches on a football field.
Will this be the year Coach Rod finally uses a tight end in the offense? Who knows. But we now have the talent and depth at the position and if he doesn't use one it is on him.“Brion is a tight end/ wide receiver. He has a big body and is very athletic. He comes from a small football program and has a bright future here with Arizona football.” – UA Coach Jim Michalczik
