Georgia Bulldogs tight end Ryland Goede is an often overlooked player on Georgia’s roster. He redshirted last season as a freshman. He played in two games and overcame an ACL injury that he suffered during his senior season of high school (October of 2018).
Goede was considered an elite prospect out of high school. He was a four-star recruit, who was rated as high as the fourth best tight end in his class.
Goede will have a chance to see more snaps next season for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he should be much healthier. Secondly, the Dawgs are replacing Eli Wolf and 49ers draft pick Charlie Woerner.
Kirby Smart and Georgia added Florida State transfer Tre’ McKitty and 2020 five-star recruit TE Darnell Washington this offseason. They figure to battle for the starting position next season along with John FitzPatrick.
McKitty racked up 520 yards over the last two seasons at FSU and has the most game experience of any tight end.
