Georgia just got their 2nd TE commit. Could that be good news for Texas and Prothro? 

Could be… but TE doesn’t seem like the highest priority position with what we have. Washington, Townsend and Watson with Endries and others… stacked. The big blocking TE might be the way to go if our oline is a little smaller than expected.

Heze Kent is a higher priority IMO

No. Georgia is selling him as an “offensive weapon”, an X receiver, slot receiver, or tight end. Kent isn’t even close to the level that Prothro is, receiving wise. Also, Prothro is a done deal to UGA.

Kent is the ideal in line, Hback, TE that Sark likes and uses a lot.

Honestly I don’t think Texas will match nil here. Intriguing prospect but lots of question marks to maximize, and even if he does will take a few years to do so. 

Won't change Georgia's pursuit of Prothro.

Kirby has built a juggernaut off TEs, RBs and Front 7.

Has he though at TE? Besides Bowers who else? Washington was all hype and is now I think 3rd or 4th on the Steelers depth chart. Anyone else I’m missing?

I honestly think it’s better news if for some reason things go sideways between Bowman and USC before December. I know the mods have said he’s locked in but USC deals have fallen through in the past. If that happens again, Texas would be in the driver seat.

“Besides Bowers” lol.

But historically: 

Randy McMichael

Orson Charles

Leonard Pope

Ben Watson

Larry Brown

Shan Mitchell

Young one on campus named Elyss. 6’8.

I thought you meant developed good NFL TEs. And only Bowers has been good. The others are back ups or back ups back ups. But if you’re talking strictly college success then yes he has.
