Despite a setback in 2023 due to a shoulder injury that limited him to six games, Yurosek is anticipated to return to form unscathed for the upcoming 2024 season. Hailing from Bakersfield, California, Yurosek draws comparisons to Brock Bowers, having showcased versatility by also carrying the ball, tallying 11 rushes for 53 yards at Stanford.
Yurosek’s addition bolsters an already talented tight end roster for the Dawgs, featuring Oscar Delp, who demonstrated promise with 24 receptions for 284 yards and three touchdowns in 2023 while filling in for the injured Bowers. Alongside Delp, the Dawgs boast additional depth with Lawson Luckie, Pearce Spurlin III, Colton Heinrich, and Jaden Reddell.

With such formidable depth at various offensive positions, Georgia is poised to field a potent offense in 2024, with Yurosek’s arrival expected to further enhance their dynamism.
