Las Vegas Raiders UDFA Spotlight: Utah TE Cole Fotheringham
The Las Vegas Raiders front office has been extremely busy this offseason, having traded for an excellent All-Pro receiver, adding great defensive talent such as Chandler Jones, and drafting talent with tremendous upside. The work hasn’t ceased, as seen by the addition of undrafted free agent tight end Cole Fotheringham. He’ll now be part of a talented tight end room that includes Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Nick Bowers, and Jacob Hollister.
Who is Cole Fotheringham?
Fotheringham played all four years at Utah. He is six-foot-four and weighs 243 pounds. During his senior year, he started ten games and registered fifteen receptions for 128 yards. While he did not score any touchdowns this season, he performed admirably in his role. He was named to the John Mackey Award watchlist in 2019, which honors the top tight end in college football. Cole was not only a brilliant athlete on the field, but he also succeeded in the classroom, earning Pac-12 All-Academic Honor Roll honors that same year.
