Oscar Delp, the University of Georgia’s standout tight end, has announced his decision to return for his senior season in 2025, foregoing the opportunity to enter the NFL Draft. This decision comes after a season where Delp played a pivotal role in the Bulldogs’ offense, recording 21 receptions for 248 yards and four touchdowns. His notable performance includes a game against Tennessee, where he secured four catches for 56 yards and two touchdowns, contributing significantly to Georgia’s 31-17 victory.

Delp’s return is particularly significant as Georgia transitions to a new starting quarterback, Gunner Stockton, following Carson Beck’s transfer to Miami. Delp and Stockton share a close relationship, having been roommates and developed a strong bond over the past two years. This camaraderie is expected to translate into on-field chemistry, benefiting the Bulldogs’ offense in the upcoming season.

The tight end position remains a strength for Georgia, with rising junior Lawson Luckie also returning. Luckie led the tight ends in 2024 with 24 catches for 348 yards and three touchdowns. Additionally, the Bulldogs will welcome rising sophomore Jaden Reddell and incoming four-star freshmen Elyiss Williams and Ethan Barbour, further bolstering the depth and talent at the position.

Reflecting on his decision, Delp expressed a desire to improve upon the previous season’s shortcomings. Despite winning the SEC Championship, the Bulldogs concluded the 2024 season with an 11-3 record, falling short of their national championship aspirations after a loss to Notre Dame. Delp emphasized the need for offseason work and competition to achieve better results in 2025.

Delp’s leadership and experience will be invaluable as Georgia aims for a stronger offensive performance. His decision to return underscores his commitment to the team’s success and his readiness to take on a more prominent role in guiding the Bulldogs toward their goals in the upcoming season.
