Georgia Bulldogs tight end Benjamin Yurosek announced via his Instagram he plans to declare for the 2025 NFL draft. Yurosek was out of college football eligibility, so this was more of a formality.
Yurosek had an interesting career. He was a four-star prospect from California before committing to the Stanford Cardinal in 2020. Yurosek redshirted his freshman year, but 2021 would be his best season. He caught 653 yards and three touchdowns on 42 receptions in 2021.
Unfortunately, Yurosek never topped that level of production. He played at Stanford for two more seasons and totaled just 784 yards and two touchdowns on 65 receptions. He lost snaps tight end to Sam Roush.
Yurosek was looking for a fresh start, which is why he transferred to Georgia in the 2024 offseason. In his one season at UGA, he had career lows of 185 yards and no touchdowns on 15 receptions. He was used as a rotational tight end with Oscar Delp and Lawson Luckie.
His unique combination of size and speed and his freshman season will be the main calling cards for NFL teams looking to draft him.
Yurosek is the 14th Georgia player to formally declare for the 2025 NFL draft, and there are some more Bulldogs with no more eligibility that will more than likely declare. That’s not to mention over 10 Georgia players have entered the transfer portal.
Despite that, Georgia should still be set at tight end. Delp started to get into a groove in the last few games, and Luckie can be useful as a run blocker sometimes used on passing downs. That’s not to mention recruits Elyiss Williams (five-star) and Ethan Barbour (four-star) joining the team as well.
