  Draft Scout by Conference









  Well before North Carolina had any injuries to potential starters, offensive coordinator Phil Longo was exploring ways to get sophomore tight end Bryson Nesbit more involved in the offense. It just got more critical with starting receiver Antoine Green set to miss at least the first six games with a shoulder injury. Don't be surprised to see Nesbit split out wide at receiver. It's not a gimmick either; the offense isn't limited to certain plays when he is at receiver. "It's pretty open to everything," Nesbit said. "I mean, I've run the same offense that all of our other outside receivers are running right now."

Carolina isn't deep at receiver. In the spring, UNC coach Mack Brown contemplated recruiting a graduate transfer to make up for their lack of experience in the area. The position was depleted by the transfers of Khafre Brown, Emery Simmons and Beau Corrales. With Green injured, the Tar Heels have placed a renewed emphasis on tight end. Brown said they would consider going with "more two tight ends (sets) since Bryson can play both." The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Charlotte native got used to lining up wide in high school, where they would use his height advantage to throw fade routes and let him out jump smaller defenders for touchdowns. That's why Nesbit said his transition has been fairly seamless. "I would say it was pretty natural coming from high school, definitely playing 7-on-7 in high school as well," Nesbit said. "All that was playing outside receiver. I mean, it's fun. I love doing it." - Raleigh News Observer
