Yea I think big picture Arroyo is or has more upside, and has potential to be one of the best receiving TE's ever at the U. Arroyo has real good ball skills and route running, but because he's long and lean, he has a ways to go to put on the needed weight and frame, and definitely needs a lot of work blocking to play in line, and have the versatility we saw from Brevin (lined up out wide, in the slot, short slot, in line, and offset backfield). so I don't expect arroyo to get snaps until Mallory Leaves.
My thought was Gilbert could step in right away for double TE sets, similar to what we did this year, if there was mutual interest from him and the U.
I do think Mamarelli is a sleeper in a way. He has good hands, and looks natural as a pass catcher, even with limited experience outside the Wing T. His size is there, and he will add strength to it this offseason. His speed is deceptive, and I imagine they will improve on that in the offseason as well. He has the frame, and ability as a blocker, getting snaps as a true frosh to block in some packages.
Hodges is a tweener. He can be used as the H back, but he doesn't have tru TE size. I'm not that high on Hodges, and think we might see more Mallory/Mamarelli .
I feel the next three years are our window of opportunity to make the playoff.
