Even despite having lost Brock Bowers to the NFL, the Georgia tight end room was still one of the best in SEC and college football, and that thought only became more evident Friday as the Bulldogs secured a commitment from Benjamin Yurosek.
Yurosek comes to Athens from Stanford, where he has spent each of the last four seasons as one of the Pac-12’s top pass catching tight ends.
A former three-star prospect from the 2020 class, Yurosek has seen in-game action each of the last three seasons at Stanford, a span in which he had a combined 108 receptions for 1,342 yards and five touchdowns. Yurosek also had 16 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown this past season for the Cardinal, while also rushing for 53 yards on 11 attempts.
As for the impact that Yurosek can have as well, look no further than his 2021 season at Stanford in which he led the Cardinal with 43 receptions for 658 yards and three touchdowns.

Yurosek will now join a 2024 Georgia tight end room that also includes the likes of Oscar Delp, Lawson Luckie, Pearce Spurlin III, Colton Heinrich, and Jaden Reddell.
