Quiz-Florida's Best Tight Ends Ever

[OldSchoolLion]

Arguably Florida's two most famous Tight Ends were high-school and college All-Americans who played on NCAA national championship teams(consensus or BCS) and ultimately played the position in the NFL.  One was an NFL first round draft pick.  The other a won state title with his high school team.  Who are these two famous players and for what high schools did they play?

Video of Nick O'leary below.  Helped Dwyer win a state title versus Niceville in 2009.  Had over 100 receiving yards and was team's punter in that game.  Was a USA Today All-American at Tight End.  Was also a consensus All-American at Florida State.  He was drafted by the Bills in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Correct!  Video below.  6'7", 235-lb and ran a 4.6 40 at Merritt Island.  USA Today All-American and Parade Magazine Player of the Year.  All-American at Notre Dame and first round NFL draft pick.  My vote for Florida's most dominating tight end while in high school....man amongst boys.    Though he played hs ball 30 years ago, am confident this guy would be no less dominant today if he was playing in hs.  Good job Tigers2017!
