I think you are on to something. Knowing Gran's relationship with UCLA offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone, I would not be surprised to see Gran utlize him like UCLA did with Myles Jack. In the least they could use him in short yardage and goal line situations on offense.

Quote from that article I posted earlier:

"Tappan was also part of an amazing turnaround in high school. He totaled nine touchdowns as a short-yardage specialist for La Salle High in 2012 and finished with 44 tackles, four sacks and two interceptions at the linebacker position. La Salle finished 10-1 in 2012 a year after going 1-9."

Though he makes it sound like he's coming in as an LB... Who knows.
