I assume we're gonna return to a more conventional offense using Tight Ends. What's the closest thing on the roster that we could convert to a TE? B-Back? I don't think we have any WR who are that stocky. Bring in a grad transfer? Have we started recruiting incoming freshman TE? Being able to play right away could be a nice lure for a big-time recruit.

Several of our WRs would be playing TE at other schools. Don't over think it.

We got a redshirt freshman Josh Tukes. He's 6'6" and was a standout BB player in high school. These type frames and athleticism usually convert pretty well to the TE position. Probably some other kids in the program and possibly can get one in our recruiting cycle this year.

Since we recruit typically smaller more athletic OL it is possible we might have some that could transition to TE.

Heck in CPJ’s first year he had 2 converted TE playing OT (Barrick and Sellers)

I think we'll be ok from a pass-catching standpoint, but I'm more concerned about who will be able to bulk up and run block.
