Former Georgia TE commits to Georgia Tech

Former Georgia TE commits to Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech is getting another former Bulldog in the transfer portal. Former Georgia tight end Ryland Goede has committed to the Yellow Jackets for his final year of eligibility.

Goede (6 feet, 6 inches, 240 pounds) was a part of the Bulldogs’ 2019 recruiting class. He was the No. 9 tight end in the state.

The Acworth, Georgia, native spent four years in Athens as a reserve player before transferring to Mississippi State last season, joining his wife, who plays volleyball.

Goede joins former Georgia assistant Buster Faulkner, who serves as offensive coordinator, and former Bulldogs Brett Seither and Dominick Blaylock in Atlanta.

Goede will face his former team next season on Nov. 30 in Athens.

 

 

Update: Former Mississippi State TE Ryland Goede has cancelled his visit to Texas A&M

Former Mississippi State TE Ryland Goede has reportedly canceled his College Station visit and will instead transfer to Georgia Tech.

This coming weekend, Texas A&M is set to host a bevy of potential transfer portal additions, and according to early reports, former Mississippi State tight end Ryland Goede was slated to that list, but late Thursday night, Rivals’ Russell Johnson announced that Goede had canceled his visit to College Station. He will instead transfer to Georgia Tech for the 2024 season.

Appearing in 11 games, including seven starts this season, Goede failed to record any receiving statistics until reeling in his first catch for 18 yards, which would end up being his only grab in his Bulldogs career. Mainly working as an inline blocker, Goede’s 6’6″, 260-pound frame still provides enormous potential in the passing game in the right system.

The Aggies will lose three tight ends going into the 2024 season, including Jake Johnson and Fernando Garza III, who recently entered the transfer portal, and senior Max Wright, who has used up his eligibility.

With sophomore TE Donovan Green deemed to return after sustaining a season-ending injury just weeks before the 2023 season, Goede’s experience paired with new OC Collin Klein’s offensive game plan would have been a perfect match, but congratulations to Georgia Tech for reeling in a big-time talent.

Former Georgia tight end officially signs with Mississippi State

Former UGA TE Ryland Goede officially signs with Mississippi State

Last week, former Georgia tight end Ryland Goede committed to play at Mississippi State as a graduate transfer.

On Wednesday, national signing day, Goede made it official, signing with the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Goede signed alongside his fiancee, Alexa Fortin, a former UGA volleyball player who is also transferring to the Bulldogs.

The Kennesaw, Georgia, native spent four seasons in Athens as a reserve tight end.

The Bulldogs have a loaded tight end group in their second-ranked 2023 recruiting class. Four-star Pearce Spurlin, the No. 2 tight end in the country, and four-star Lawson Lucky, the No. 8 tight end, have already enrolled at Georgia.

UGA is also trending for five-star Duce Robinson, the No. 1 tight end in the country.

Former Georgia TE commits to Mississippi State

Ryland Goede to MSU…

Former Georgia tight end Ryland Goede has committed to play at Mississippi State as a graduate transfer.

Goede committed along side his fiancee, a former UGA volleyball player who is also transferring to the Bulldogs.

The Kennesaw, Ga., native spent four seasons in Athens as a reserve tight end.

Goede is one of three Georgia tight ends to hit the transfer portal. Junior Brett Seither transferred to Georgia Tech and redshirt sophomore Arik Gilbert transferred to Nebraska.

The Bulldogs have a loaded tight end group in their No. 2 ranked 2023 recruiting class. Four-star Pearce Spurlin, the No. 2 ranked tight end in the country, and four-star Lawson Lucky, the No. 8 ranked tight end have already enrolled at Georgia.

UGA is also trending for five-star Duce Robinson, the No. 1 tight end in the country.

Third Georgia TE enters transfer portal

The Georgia Bulldogs are losing a lot of pieces in the tight end room this offseason.

The Georgia Bulldogs are losing a number of pieces in the tight end room this offseason. Veteran tight end Ryland Goede has entered the transfer portal. He is likely looking for more playing time.

Georgia still has excellent 2023 tight end recruits and returns Brock Bowers and Oscar Delp.

Goede will have two years of eligibility wherever he decides to transfer to. The 6-foot-6, 240-pound tight end stuck with Georgia football throughout the national championship run to become a back-to-back national champion.

He faces significant competition for playing time at Georgia, so his transfer is understandable. Of course, Goede could still return to Athens.

Goede is a former four-star recruit and was a member of the class of 2019. Goede, who expects to graduate from Georgia, has played in 15 games over the past two seasons.

Junior tight end Darnell Washington is expected to enter the 2023 NFL draft. Georgia tight ends Arik Gilbert and Brett Seither are already in the transfer portal.

Goede announced his intentions to transfer via Twitter:

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.
