Bowl prospect radar: Wake Forest TE Cam Serigne
2 min read
Wake Forest has never had a tight end to produce as much as the black and gold’s number 85, Cam Serigne. The Ashburn, Virginia native finished with 174 career catches and 21 receiving touchdowns. DraftNasty National Correspondent and former Demon Deacon De’Angelo Bryant gives a sneak peek of the pass-catching tight end in DraftNasty’s Bowl Prospect Radar.
Positioning
Serigne is the prime example of a detached or non-traditional tight end because of the various formations he lines up in Coach Warren Ruggiero’s offensive sets. While he will show up as an in-line tight end on pro sets, you will mainly find him as an h-back, split in doubles (stacked or regular), or in trips formation (tight bunch or regular). Not to be mistaken, his alignment is not a smoke screen for opponents, as his 44 catches this season has proven he has to be accounted for in the field.
Pass Catching
One of his best assets is catching the football. You rarely see him making body catches and he has shown he can extend to make the grabs that are out of his body frame. His hand/eye coordination is as good as they come in this year’s draft class.
Route Running
The 6’2, 240-pound tight end is pretty nifty as a route runner and understands how to work in space. He is involved largely in the Demon Deacons RPO game, which requires him to read and replace on the run, based on the safety or linebacker’s reactions to the run.
Blocking
Blocking is a cause of concern. Although the willingness and effort is evident, his lack of strength keeps him from steadily maintaining his blocks. However, he is an adequate blocker on the perimeter.
Synopsis
Serigne may not be among the top tight ends in this draft class, but could be a late round addition to a team with a high passing percentage in the NFL. He could find a role similar to former nine-year veteran Jacob Tamme (Colts, Broncos, Buccaneers).
