As we go inside one month until kickoff this week and the 2013 Liberty Flames report to campus to begin practice, we move into the offensive skill players and start with PAMedic's favorite:

Here is how they looked coming out of the spring (combined with WR which I will look at next Monday):

Players Incoming

Tyler Meeks 6-3 210 Lbs Lynchburg, VA (Liberty Christian Academy)

Tight End was the only position (outside of special teams) where second year head coach Turner Gill did not sign a player on National Signing Day with six returning from last year's squad. Local product Meeks was a preferred walk-on like his teammate at LCA, Bo Swanson. Apon, after joining as a walk-on himself as a true freshman in 2009, patiently waited for his turn behind former Flame Tommy Shaver and splitting reps with Gagliardi, who missd virtually all of last season due to injury, he goes into 2013 as the unquestioned starter.

With the question marks at WR, look for the TE spot to see quite a few targets in the early going this season.

A lot of similarities between Apon and Jason Witten type TE. Apon has been praised for his blocking ability, but is a converted WR coming out of HS. He runs a legitimate 4.6 40 - if you don't believe me look at the Lehigh TD - so he's fast. Blocks extremely well, runs great routes and has excellent hands. He's been a leader on this team since he showed up as a preferred walk-on back in '09 in the weight room and class room. It's paid off and now he's a team captain. Barring any injuries, Apon will have a huge impact in this offense this year.
