The University of Georgia isn't exactly known for tight end play, or at least they haven't been over the years. Though there have been a handful of household names develop in that tight ends room over the last several decades.
Randy McMichael, Benjamin Watson, Leonard Pope, Orson Charles, Arthur Lynch, and Isaac Nauta all had their own run at the position for Georgia over the last 20+ years and none of them have had a season like the one Brock Bowers is on track to have.
And he's doing it as a freshman.
Let's take a look at the career pinnacle for each of those great Georgia Tight Ends.
Randy McMichael (2000) SO. - 32 receptions for 475 yards, 1 TD
Ben Watson (2002) JR. - 31 receptions for 341, 3 TDs
Leonard Pope (2005) JR. - 39 receptions for 541, 4 TDs
Orson Charles (2011) JR. - 45 receptions for 574, 5 TDs
Aruthur Lynch (2013) SR - 30 receptions for 459, 5 TDs'
Isaac Nauta (2018) JR. - 30 receptions for 430 yards, 3 TDs
All really good seasons from really good football players over the year for the Bulldogs.
Bowers is about to destroy all of those stat lines.
Through seven games, Bowers has 25 receptions for 416 yards and 7 total touchdowns, and there are five regular-season games remaining, along with a likely playoff run on the horizon.

I love seeing a big tight end make a catch and rumble for 10-20 more yards. We have two freaks at the position now and I hope Gilbert can get it together and come make some plays for us.

Recruiting matters! I am amazed he hit the ground running, not too big a moment from game one.

The catch and rumble is so beautiful, but it is almost like Bowers can switch between bruising/classic TE runs, and then total speed burner style runs.
Dude is a freak of nature and an animal.

Bowers and McConkey are quickly becoming my favorite players to watch on offense. Zeus has currently got that honor for his hard runs.
We've got a talented team, even with injuries.

Btw, did anybody notice how fast he ran on that TD run? I always knew he wasn’t a total slowpoke, but I guess I’m so used to his style being a power back that I forgot he could sprint like that!

At the beginning of the season I thought TE was going to be a weak spot with Washington out. I thought Bowers would be good… with a season or two under his belt.
Right out of the gate he was a man on a mission. Incredible what he has accomplished already.

Dang, I wasn’t expecting to see those numbers from past tight ends. Seems like Charles and Lynch never got the ball.

He obviously isn't this good yet and may never be, but I think Bowers looks just like Travis Kelce out there.

To me, once Bowers gets his blocking down he will be among the best that's come out of UGA.
