John Samuel Shenker

Shenker finished third amongst all SEC tight ends in receptions last season with 33 while placing fifth in the conference in receiving yards at 413. Unfortunately, Shenker failed to find the end zone, though clearly emerged as a safety valve in the Auburn offense. There remains uncertainty at the quarterback position for the Tigers, with TJ Finley, Zach Calzada and Robby Ashford all vying for the coveted spot under center. While this may ultimately cap Shenker’s upside, whomever lines up under center will likely look to Shenker early and often for easier completions. Shenker averaged 12.5 yards per catch in 2021 and only Shedrick Jackson had more receptions and yardage among returning pass catchers.
