The 60 In 60 Series Continues Its Countdown Of The Top College Football Players Heading Into The 2023 Season

60 in 60: #2 Utah’s Brant Kuithe (Tight End)

The 60 in 60 series continues its countdown of the top college football players heading into the 2023 season

With the 2023 college football season fast approaching, Athlon Sports is counting down the top 60 players in the country.

coming in at No. 2 is Utah tight end Brant Kuithe.

The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Kuithe is one of the most dynamic pass-catching tight ends in the country. He has great hands, runs crisp routes and is a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses.

Kuithe had a breakout season in 2022, catching 51 passes for 619 yards and six touchdowns. He was a key component of Utah's high-powered offense, which led the Pac-12 in scoring.

Kuithe is expected to be even better in 2023. He is the clear go-to target for quarterback Cam Rising and should have another big season.

Here are some of the reasons why Kuithe is one of the best tight ends in the country:

• He is a great pass-catcher. Kuithe has soft hands and is able to make catches in traffic.
• He runs crisp routes. Kuithe is a precise route-runner and is able to get open against even the best coverage.
• He is a matchup nightmare. Kuithe is too big for most cornerbacks to cover and too fast for most linebackers to keep up with.

Kuithe is a major reason why Utah is one of the favorites to win the Pac-12 in 2023. He is a mismatch for opposing defenses and is one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the country.

Here are some of Kuithe's highlights from the 2022 season:
