With the departures of Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey and subsequent dismissal of RaRa Thomas this offseason, some Georgia fans had concerns regarding the depth in both the receiver and tight end rooms. Those concerns should be eased greatly by the results of the first two weeks.
Nine different receivers caught passes for the Bulldogs on Saturday against Tennessee Tech, with Arian Smith and Dillon Bell leading Georgia in receptions. Dominic Lovett and Colbie Young also caught touchdown passes, while Anthony Evans showed his abilities on the opening punt return that he took 56 yards deep into Tech territory. Freshmen Sacovie White and Nitro Tuggle both caught their first passes at Georgia, as did Southern Cal transfer Michael Jackson III.
In the tight end room, Oscar Delp recorded his first catch of the season before leaving with an injury, though he is expected to be back for next week’s game. Lawson Luckie continued to be the most impactful tight end in the receiving game with a pair of catches for 43 yards and a touchdown, while Ben Yurosek played heavy snaps and freshman Jaden Reddell had his first catch as a Bulldog.
Georgia has spread the ball all around over the first two weeks of the season, indicating the depth the Bulldogs’ have at these skill positions and the versatility that can be expected from their offensive attack.
