Late in the third quarter of a blowout against Illinois Oct. 27, quarterback Kasim Hill found freshman tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo wide open in the back of the end zone from 25 yards out.
It was the first touchdown thrown to a Maryland tight end in more than two years -- a span of 764 pass attempts -- and the only one thrown to a Terps tight end during the entire 2018 season.
The position group has caught a combined 16 passes since 2016, but if Maryland's spring game is any indication of how first-year head coach Mike Locksley is going to run his offense, tight ends could play a significant role in 2019.
