Cole Cubelic, one of the most respected voices in college football analysis and a former SEC offensive lineman, recently stirred the pot in offseason discussions by naming the Georgia Bulldogs as having the best tight end room in the Southeastern Conference. For fans and analysts closely following SEC football, this declaration may not come as a surprise — but Cubelic’s comments reignite a conversation about just how dominant and multifaceted Georgia’s tight end unit continues to be.
During a segment on his radio show and later in a post on social media, Cubelic broke down the reasoning behind his choice, citing a combination of depth, versatility, and proven production. “No one else in the SEC has a tight end room with this kind of balance,” he said. “Georgia has big-time athletes, willing blockers, reliable pass-catchers, and guys who can shift the outcome of a game in multiple ways.”
At the heart of Georgia’s elite tight end corps is Oscar Delp, a junior who has been steadily rising since stepping into the void left by Brock Bowers’ departure to the NFL. Delp, a 6’5″, 245-pound playmaker, is not just a replacement — he’s a potential star in his own right. Known for his fluid route running and soft hands, Delp is poised for a breakout year as the top tight end on a Georgia offense that continues to lean on multiple-tight-end sets.
“Oscar’s been in the system, he knows what’s expected, and now it’s his time,” Georgia tight ends coach Todd Hartley said during spring practice. “He’s got all the tools — and more importantly, the mentality to be a difference-maker.”
Behind Delp, the Bulldogs feature a deep and talented supporting cast. Lawson Luckie, a redshirt freshman, drew praise throughout spring for his physicality and tenacity in the run game. Despite limited snaps last season due to injury, Luckie has shown flashes of being an elite in-line blocker with sneaky athleticism in space.
Adding further to the mix is freshman phenom Jaden Reddell
