Brock Bowers, Tight End (No. 19):

Class: Freshman

Height: 6-4

Weight: 230 pounds

Hometown: Napa, California

High School: Napa High School

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Brock Bowers committed to the University of Georgia on Aug. 10, 2021. He is talented, but will likely spend much of his year developing in Georgia’s elite tight end room.

Bowers is rated a four-star recruit by the top recruiting sites. He is ranked the No. 105 player and the third-best tight end in the 2021 class.

The former Napa High School star put up incredible numbers as a junior in high school. Bowers is versatile and has a basketball background.

He received over 20 offers from Division I schools, but decided to join Georgia. Bowers has a good combination of size and speed and has the talent to excel at the college level.

The Los Angeles Chargers drafted Georgia tight end Tre’ McKitty this offseason and wide receiver George Pickens injured his ACL in spring practice, but Georgia still looks solid at tight end with Darnell Washington,  John FitzPatrick and LSU transfer Arik Gilbert.

Bowers comes from a very athletic family. His father played football for Utah State and his sister plays softball for Sacramento State.

Georgia football tight end picks transfer destination

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Kolby Wyatt is transferring to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football program.

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Kolby Wyatt entered the NCAA transfer portal following UGA’s loss to Florida. Now, Kolby Wyatt has decided to transfer to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football program. It’s a long ways away from Athens for Wyatt, but he is from San Deigo, California, so he won’t be too far from there.

We wish Wyatt the best at Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors typically sport an explosive passing offense, so hopefully Wyatt can find significant playing time for Hawaii.

Tre’ McKitty, Darnell Washington and John FitzPatrick have received the majority of playing time at tight end for the Bulldogs this season. Four-star tight end Brock Bowers has additionally committed to Georgia. Wyatt has seen minimal action this season after playing in three games in 2019.

Wyatt, a junior, began his career at UGA as a defensive lineman, but switched numbers and positions last season. He has two years of eligibility left following this season.

College football is projected to have a lot of transfers following this season, so be prepared for more to come.

Wyatt, a Junior, started his career at UGA as a defensive lineman, but switched numbers and positions last season. He has two years of eligibility left following this season.

Georgia football player card: TE Darnell Washington

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Darnell Washington will wear the No. 0 this season for the University of Georgia

Darnell Washington, Tight End (No. 0):

Class: Freshman

Height: 6-7

Weight: 260 pounds

Hometown: Las Vegas, Nevada

High School: Desert Pines

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Darnell Washington will wear the No. 0 this season for the University of Georgia. The NCAA allowed players to wear the number this offseason to avoid jersey number confusion.

Washington is one of the most talented tight end recruits in UGA history. He comes to Athens after being rated as a five-star in the class of 2020. Washington helped Desert Pines average 43.6 points per game throughout his senior season. He also played high school basketball.

Washington played in the 2020 Under Armour All-America Game and announced his commitment to Georgia during the contest.

The Bulldogs are replacing tight ends Eli Wolf and Charlie Woerner, an NFL draft selection. Washington is projected to start at tight end in passing situations later in the 2020 season.

Tre McKitty, an FSU transfer is more experienced, so expect him to be the run blocker for the Dawgs. Both compete with John FitzPatrick, the most experienced returning tight end, for playing time.

Washington also adds value for the Bulldogs after the catch. Look at the tenacity on his stiff arms here:

Georgia Bulldogs football player card: TE Tre’ McKitty

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Tre’ McKitty transferred to the University of Georgia from Florida State University.

Tre’ McKitty, Tight End (No. 87):

Class: Graduate Student

Height: 6-5

Weight: 245 pounds

Hometown: Wesley Chapel, Florida

High School: IMG Academy

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Tre’ McKitty transferred to the University of Georgia following the end of the 2019 college football season. McKitty left Florida State University.

McKitty projects as the starting tight end on Georgia’s roster next season. He’ll face some solid competition, but the experience he gained at FSU (played in 35 games) sets him apart from the rest of the group. The Bulldogs are replacing Eli Wolf and NFL draft selection Charlie Woerner.

Georgia added class of 2020 five-star TE Darnell Washington this offseason. Washington is projected to be McKitty’s main competitor for the starting role.  They figure to all compete with John FitzPatrick, the most experienced returning tight end, for playing time.

McKitty racked up 520 total yards at FSU. He was a three-star recruit coming out of IMG Academy. He enters the season on the Mackey Award watch list. He can block too:

UGA football player card: TE Ryland Goede

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Ryland Goede has the potential to make an impact for UGA next season.

Ryland Goede, Tight End (No. 88):

Class: Redshirt freshman

Height: 6-6

Weight: 240 pounds

Hometown: Kennesaw,  Georgia

High School: Kennesaw Mountain High School

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Ryland Goede is an often overlooked player on Georgia’s roster. He redshirted last season as a freshman. He played in two games and overcame an ACL injury that he suffered during his senior season of high school (October of 2018).

Goede was considered an elite prospect out of high school. He was a four-star recruit, who was rated as high as the fourth best tight end in his class.

Goede will have a chance to see more snaps next season for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he should be much healthier. Secondly, the Dawgs are replacing Eli Wolf and 49ers draft pick Charlie Woerner.

Kirby Smart and Georgia added Florida State transfer Tre’ McKitty and 2020 five-star recruit TE Darnell Washington this offseason. They figure to battle  for the starting position next season along with John FitzPatrick.

McKitty racked up 520 yards over the last two seasons at FSU and has the most game experience of any tight end.

UGA football player card: TE John Fitzpatrick

Georgia Bulldogs tight end John Fitpatrick played in eleven games last season as a freshman.

John Fitzpatrick, Tight End (#86):

Class: Redshirt sophomore

Height: 6-6

Weight: 230 pounds

Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia

High School: Marist High School

Georgia Bulldogs tight end John Fitpatrick played in eleven games last season. He recorded one catch against Murray State. The Marist High School product played in two games during the 2018 season. He was able to redshirt during this season.

Fitzpatrick will have a change to see more snaps next season. He may be the best blocking tight end on Georgia’s roster. The Dawgs are replacing Eli Wolff and 49ers draft selection Charlie Woerner.

Georgia added Florida State transfer Tre’ McKitty and 2020 five-star TE Darnell Washington this offseason. They figure to compete with Fitzpatrick for playing time.

McKitty racked up 520 yards over the last two seasons at FSU.

Here’s a look back at when he committed to the University of Georgia:

He’ll face a battle to start, but should play in every game this season when healthy.

UGA football player card: TE Kolby Wyatt

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Kolby Wyatt started out his career at UGA as a defensive lineman, but switched numbers and positions.

Kolby Wyatt, Tight End (#82):

Class: Junior

Height: 6-4

Weight: 215 pounds

Hometown: San Diego, California

High School: Shiloh High School

Wyatt redshirted in 2017 and saw his first action in 2018 as a defensive lineman. He played in three games last season.

Wyatt will compete for playing time among returning tight ends behind John Fitzpatrick. Georgia additionally added Florida State transfer Tre’ McKitty and 2020 five-star TE Darnell Washington this offseason.

McKitty racked up 520 yards over the last two seasons at FSU.

Will Wyatt be able to earn playing time this season? His experience in the trenches could make him a solid blocker.

He’ll face a battle to play, but should provide quality depth this season.
