Todd Hartley shares how Georgia’s tight end room became one of the best position groups in college f

It’s rare to see a talent drain like the Georgia tight end position has this offseason. Four players from last season’s team will be playing elsewhere in 2023. Darnell Washington could be a first-round pick, while Ryland Goede, Brett Seither and Arik Gilbert are all headed to other Power 5 programs, with Goede announcing his transfer to Mississippi State on Monday night.

But what is perhaps more extraordinary about the Georgia tight end position is that despite those losses, the position will be more than fine. And while he might publicly downplay his hand in that, Todd Hartley is a big reason why.

Despite the losses, Georgia brings back Brock Bowers. He won the Mackey Award this past season and will likely be the best tight end in college football for a third-straight year. Were he to stay at Georgia for four seasons, he’d probably own every pass-catching record in school history.
