    Tight Ends Step Up as WRs Sit Out | Lafayette Louisiana News

    Landon Strother’s collarbone surgery sidelines the Ragin’ Cajuns’ top wideout for 4-6 weeks, adding pressure as Shelton Sampson Jr. also sits with a bone bruise. With WR depth thin, the tight ends are stepping up — Coach Desormeaux admits he was sleepless over their spring performance, but now feels confident. Caden Jensen and Brock Chappell anchor the unit, but it’s Teddy Gawlik, Emiliano Soldevilla, and Quandre Coates who’ve emerged as key contributors, excelling in blocking and passing plays. The fierce competition for snaps is fueling growth across the position group. This Saturday’s second fall scrimmage will be a critical test as the team gears up for the regular season.
