Kaden Helms News: Likely starting TE for Gophers

Published on April 28, 2026

Helms appears likely to be Minnesota's starting tight end in 2026, per Minnesota Gophers on SI.

Helms began his career at Oklahoma, but injuries prevented him from making a big impact in Norman. He's coming off a five-catch, 35-yard, one-touchdown season, his best year yet. Helms appears poised to shatter that total so long as he can stay healthy.
