Jordan Aumiller, Tyler Robinson, Anthony Kendrick, Nick Melillo, the list seems to go on and on. Who will start at tight end for Kentucky? Nobody seems to know the answer to that yet.

But, competition can be good.

"You see some guys starting to separate themselves, some of them starting to fight a little harder and that's exciting to see because I've been here when we didn't have competition at a lot of positions," said Joker Phillips.

Since Jacob Tamme graduated, that position seems to have been a revolving door. No one has really proven themselves as a threat to catch the ball. Tight ends coach Greg Nord works with these guys everyday. For him, the competition can be a double-edged sword.

"It's good in that I've been pleased with the way they're competing, I've been pleased with the progress with each one of them. It's bad in that, how many can you play in a game? But I'll say this, we'll play the best one and they all know that and it's making every one of them better," said Nord.
