Dalton Kincaid had one of the best years a Pac-12 tight end has ever had in 2022 and now the slate is empty for the next star.

There are plenty of good candidates to step up and have a big-time season in 2023 at tight end, including a Kincaid teammate who may have had an even better career than him already in Brant Kuithe.

Here are the top tight ends coming into the 2023 season.

1. Brant Kuithe, Senior, Utah

Kuithe was one of the best tight ends in Pac-12 history before he sadly was injured in 2022.

If he comes back healthy, look for him to have another season like Dalton Kincaid had in 2022 and easily be the best tight end in the conference, if not the nation.

2. Benjamin Yurosek, Senior, Stanford

Yurosek is toiling on a Stanford team that’s struggled in recent years, but he hasn’t.

He’s a full-package tight end who harkens back to the All-American tight ends of their glory years.

3. Jalin Conyers, Junior, Arizona State

Conyers quietly had over 400 yards receiving and caught five touchdowns last year on a bad ASU team. He should do even more in Kenny Dillingham’s offense.

4. Terrance Ferguson, Junior, Oregon

The big target for Oregon really broke out in 2022 with nearly 400 yards and five touchdown catches. He could be even better in 2023.

5. Tanner McLachlan, Senior, Arizona

Part of Arizona’s deadly passing attack, McLachlan had more than 450 yards receiving last year and grabbed a couple of touchdowns.

He could see more targets in 2023 with Dorian Singer off to USC.

6. Jack Westover, Senior, Washington

A former walk-on who has turned into a really nice piece on Washington’s offense. He had more than 30 receptions, 300 yards, and scored a touchdown in 2022.
