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.

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.

John Fitzpatrick, Tight End (#86):

Class: Redshirt sophomore

Height: 6-6

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.
