This article is the second in a series on Clinton High School football’s positional breakdowns heading into the 2016 season.
The tight end position doesn’t get a lot of publicity, because it typically doesn’t get the ball. In Clinton’s offense, the team uses the tight ends to block and rarely uses them in the passing game.

Daniel Lopez is a two-way starter for the Reds. Last season, he started at tight end for the offense and linebacker on defense. Lopez caught three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in 2015.
