July 27, 20205 yr A nice solid TE to seal the edge. Wish he was more of a receiver, but a legit TE prospect regardless
July 27, 20205 yr Author Boyd's eval: Quote Helm is a pro-spread tight end prospect. He’s already getting work at his Colorado high school as a flexed out receiver and some as an in-line blocker. He’s effective as a receiver, cutting into open spaces, catching the ball, and using his size to present a big target and box out defenders. As a blocker he’s not yet doing Texas-type work base blocking big ends but mostly bullying outside linebackers and safeties in space. Like everyone else Texas has recruited at that position, he’ll need a lot of time to bulk up and get used to heavy duty blocking work in the box. The receiving stuff will come much more easily, assuming he’s not limited by weight gains which at 6-foot-6 is unlikely. – Ian Boyd https://insidetexas.com/recruiting-gunnar-helm-picks-the-longhorns/
July 27, 20205 yr I'd take him for all name team alone. Now if we could only find a QB named Major Bombs or something

July 27, 20205 yr Could be a great pickup when he puts on weight and chips DEs. Only needs to make two or three catches game at most to be effective. And Hook'em Gunnar. Edited July 27, 20205 yr by Mdhorn
July 27, 20205 yr Hook 'em and welcome! Some comments on the Surl suggest he may not be much of a receiver, mostly a blocker. Boyd's note suggests the opposite ... is he way off?

Boyd's note suggests the opposite ... is he way off? I've only watched the highlights but what caught my eye was his blocking skills more so than his ability to get open and create space as a receiver. As pointed out, he was mostly blocking smaller players. But, it was impressive to see him block and lock in on guys in the open field especially at his size. He seemed more mobile as a blocker than receiver, and imo, displayed very sound technique that you don't see very often in HS. His highlights remind me a lot of Cade who showed a lot of promise as a True Freshmen before injury. I am by no means writing Cade off. Edited July 28, 20205 yr by Hmmm

July 28, 20205 yr Great football name. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11265009/5e12b99fda50cc0910c4738f
July 29, 20205 yr In that HUDL, there were a few tough catches, so that's good. The nastiness as a blocker is a good harbinger too.
