I believe it is "Ihnat" instead of "Inhat", or at least it was always pronounced as "Ihnat". First name "Eric".

Lewis walked across the west end of the Cam once cripping from an earlier game and accompanied by two fine looking ladies. After they were seated just in front of me I knew he was feeling little pain as you could smell the liquor from ten feet. Dude was an underestimated receiver and tough for his size.

Eric was a great TE. Came in after Doctor who was also a terror in the secondary. Eric had size and speed. He actually worked personally with many of these other TE's mentioned over the years. I never thought Radar was that impressive.

Should Germaine Wiggins count? Left with Olandis Gary when Donnan went to U of Georgia. Both had NFL careers. Wiggins played 2 years at Marshall, leading in receptions one year.

 

[Marine03]

I'd count Wiggins he gave us as many years as moss and brown did

 

[OVERHERD]

Sean Doctor was probably the best all around athlete (although he was a little short, can't call him small because he was built like a truck). He was drafted by the Bills (his hometown) and played with them for maybe a season before getting hurt. He bounced all over though and played several years in various leagues from WFL to Arena Ball and everything in between.

Doctor to Ihnat to Bartrum covers 1987 to 1992 and was undoubtedly the era of the TE at MU.

It has been great to see it revived with Slate and Hoskins and now Yurachek.

 

[THUNDERGround]

Frohnapfel was a pretty good TE as well.

 

[pintcan]

Doctor could run.....was a downfield threat maybe better than Cody.

I have no problem having him on the list. Anyone who can make it at the next level is worthy IMO. Guess I forgot him since he left for Georgia

I agree he was a good one. The more this thread goes the more apparent it becomes we have had several really good TE play for the Herd!

Dont let Cody be wide open, he might drop touchdowns or fumble the ball

For a second there I thought you were referring to Tron Martinez

 

[THUNDERGround]

And Jason Wellman.

 

[Herd Fever]

How about Massey? Wasn't he a TE here too.

Also are we talking the modern TE or Gatski Era TE??

I was thinking modern era which I define as post 1960
