Breaking news: Georgia bulldogs has announced the departure of Branson Robinson due to their own….

 

 

 

 

The Georgia Bulldogs have long been known for producing some of the most talented and well-rounded players at nearly every position, and tight end is no exception. Under the guidance of Todd Hartley, Georgia’s tight ends have consistently made their mark both in the SEC and nationally. Hartley, the Bulldogs’ tight ends coach, has proven to be a master of developing versatile, multi-dimensional players who can impact the game in both the passing and running games. His influence has helped Georgia build a tight end pipeline that continues to churn out exceptional prospects.

One of the newest commits in Georgia’s tight end pipeline is Lincoln Keyes, a 6’5.5″, 235-pound athlete from Saline High School in Michigan. Keyes, who committed to Georgia in November 2024, is a physical and talented player who brings a lot to the table. His strong hands make him an ideal target for contested catches, an area where many tight ends struggle. Keyes’s ability to snatch passes even in tight windows is an exciting trait, and his tenacity to go up and get the ball in traffic makes him a threat on every play.

 

Beyond his receiving prowess, Keyes’s blocking ability sets him apart. He excels at breaking down his feet when perimeter blocking against defensive backs, using his size and footwork to control the edge. His football IQ is also impressive, especially when faced with zone coverage. Keyes is quick to read the defense and identify soft spots in coverage, allowing him to find open areas and give his quarterback a reliable target. These qualities make him a perfect fit for Georgia’s offense, where versatility and execution in multiple aspects of the game are crucial.

 

 

Brock Harris, a 6’6″, 235-pound tight end out of Utah, is another exciting prospect who may soon be making a college football program very happy. Though not yet committed, Harris is quickly gaining attention for his imposing size and ability to dominate smaller defensive backs. When matched up in one-on-one situations, Harris uses his considerable weight advantage to bully defenders and win contested routes almost every time. His physicality makes him a nightmare for defensive backs, particularly when he gets a head of steam on a route.

 

What really sets Harris apart is his commitment to blocking. Many tight ends will avoid the physicality of blocking, but Harris takes great pride in his ability to finish blocks through the

whistle. His strength in blocking makes him an asset in the quick pass game, and his ability to execute blocks with consistency shows his well-rounded nature as a tight end. Harris is a player who knows how to make his presence felt on every play, whether it’s creating separation in the passing game or setting the edge for the running back.

 

Hezekiah Kent: A Game-Changer from Brunswick, GA

 

One of the most intriguing in-state targets for Georgia football is Hezekiah Kent, a 6’5″, 300-pound behemoth from Brunswick, GA. Kent is an athlete who defies expectations, as he combines size, speed, and agility in a way that is simply astonishing. Watching Kent in person during Brunswick’s scrimmage game against Ware County last year was an open eyes experience. Despite weighing in at 300 pounds, Kent moves like a running back, showing remarkable agility for his size.

Kent is not only a force in the blocking game, but he also has the hands and vision to be a serious threat in the passing game. When he catches the ball, it’s clear that the play is likely going to result in a big gain. He’s hard to bring down in the open field and creates mismatches with smaller defenders. To add to the intrigue, Brunswick has even used Kent as a quarterback at times, making it even harder to fathom trying to stop him carrying the ball. Currently uncommitted, Kent is a player Georgia should continue to watch closely as they look to add this physical player to their roster.

 

Matt Ludwig: The Route-Running Sensation

 

From Billings, Montana, Matt Ludwig has established himself as a standout in the tight end world. Though all signs currently point to Nebraska as the likely destination for Ludwig, his route-running ability and after-the-catch speed have made him a sought-after recruit. Ludwig is known for his sharp, precise route-running, a trait that sets him apart from many tight ends who struggle to create separation. His ability to get open with quick, efficient cuts makes him a reliable target for any quarterback.
