Brock Bowers injury makes Georgia tight end room much more interesting in spring practice
Georgia tight end Brock Bowers will miss spring practice with a labrum injury, opening the door for other tight ends.

This spring will determine if we can keep Washington, Geode and or Seither or lose them to the portal
Well if Kirby handles this like the QB situation, Bowers just lost his job to the less talented guy…next up in transfer portal…bowers! Lol, j/k. But I wouldn’t put it past him
Not accurate and not funny. Plus it is insulting to Stetson. You might remember him as the "less talented" quarterback who somehow managed to be the MVP in two playoff games while winning the national championship. I remember him as the gutsy walk on who impressed everyone from the get go, worked hard, continued to improve, and eventually surpassed the other contenders. The only talent that matters is the talent to win.
The real point of this article is this: It could be argued that we are now TEU.
Our tight end room is very strong and very deep by any standard.
Brock Bowers has got to be one of the very best tight ends to ever grace the game of football. That, as a freshman.
That said, competition never ends. I believe Kirby means what he says there.
Go, Dawgs!
That’s total malarkey!!! I have one question for all the critics of Kirby and his management of the “QB room”. Exactly what games did we lose that we definitely would have won over the past 4 years if Kirby had played Eason, Fields or JT instead of Fromm or Bennett? Please don’t say the Florida game in 2020 because JT wasn’t available and Bennett had us ahead by 14 points when he was injured. Also, don’t say the Bama games over the past 2 seasons because that is mega-malarkey!!! Fields had a much worse game in the 2021 CG against Bama than Bennett did against that exact same team so that story doesn’t fly. So what am I missing, what are the wins that we would have had if those 3 QBs who can’t handle competition had stayed in Athens?
Troll. 😔
Bowers is used to missing things and then picking right back up better than ever. Remember he missed his entire senior season (due to COVID). I figure he was probably going to relinquish a lot of the reps anyway, being a known commodity and all.
With or without BBowers surgery, the UGA TE room was going to be interesting this spring. Hopefully DWash is staying AND that Monken uses him more. The man is a weapon. I understand that DWash was coming off a foot injury. And big men can sometimes suffer recurring foot injuries. I understand that UGA wanted to handle DWash with kid gloves to ensure that he was available all season for the championship run. Now that Dwash is completely healed and conditioned for a bigger role you will see a break out year for DWash. With or without BBowers on the field. ODelp will have a role mostly spelling BBowers and may allow BBowers to play more slot for mismatches. How UGA has recruited the TE position should be reassuring to AGilbert that he is a WR now. AGilbert is being counted on to be a big contributor this season at WR. Should be fun to watch.
Forgetting Arik Gilbert? Won't he get some tight end reps?
You really don’t have a clue. BTW…..Kirby frequently states that EVERY position is up for grabs EVERY week. Clearly, JT didn’t earn his starting position back at UGA….and the same was true at USC. I’m starting to see a pattern here. At least at UGA he lost his position as a starter to the #3 QB in the country while at USC their QB was #82 this past season. Good grief pal….let it go.
You are clearly a troll. I don’t think winning by a score of 34-7 vs Florida makes one believe that Bennett, in your words, “almost lost the game”. Wow…that’s a stretch and sounds like nonsense to me even if our defense played a huge role in the win.
If you look, I said J/K, which means just kidding you old fart! I wasn’t implicating Bennett, I was referencing the QB room as a whole…Eason and Fromm, Fromm and Fields, etc. Everybody, including you Jimbo, have questioned Kirby and the Qb situation over the years bc you comment on everything…lighten up bud, go have a beer!
