Yeah, IIRC, family/home was a big draw for him

Well technically Manny fired him as soon as he got the job along with the rest of the entire Offensive staff but yes he and his wife are from the area with deep family ties there

I don’t get the everlasting appeal they got going on over there lol. Hopefully we can pitch the right message that breaks the spell. It’s not cool to be a five star tight end and have to dwindle your shine until your third or fourth season.

Mario loved Colton Heinrich when he was at Cardinal Gibbons, and he hasn’t even registered any stats in his first two years & the reports outta UGA I skimmed thru have him buried in the depth chart. Idgi lol. Maybe he’ll transfer after this year.

As far as production, UGA TEs in 2025; REC/YDS/TDS

TE1: 20/261/1
TE2: 15/158/4
TE3: 7/117/1
TE4: 1/9/0

For all the people who say our tight end usage doomed us, clearly that cannot be the case based on what we see above. Those four Tight ends combined for a total of 43 receptions, 545 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. When Colbie Young was injured, they just spammed Z. Branch screens rather than get the TEs more involved. For comparison, Bauman and Lofton had 41 receptions, 384 receiving yards and and 4 TDs. With Luka and Benedict Schott, that’s 45 receptions, 445 receiving yards and 4 TDs. We really aren’t that far off and last year was such a down year for us as far as TE production.

Having Bowers to point to seems like the ultimate guide; alongside UGA being much closer to his home so they were able to get a second unofficial in for their spring game. And Woodiel going to Ole Miss ofc. Skyman mentioned the 4 TE sets selling point as well.

Mensah threw 7 of his 22 TDs to Bauman in 2024 so I suspect our youngins are going to feast in this offense; alongside a Lofton resurgence. Lastly, it would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet for Elijah Lofton to have a big impact for the Super Bowl Champions. We need that ready-made-model still on his rookie contract. Will Mallory, David Njoku, and Brevin Jordan all lookin good too will further hone in the TEU selling point.

Been SCREAMINGGGGGGG this since page 1 when this thread was thumbleweed and I stumbled into it in Feb, dude would be best athlete in class I thought he was that good, I was talking to myself in this thread dam near the way I was spamming it and the state of room where Bauman had TEU. When he wasnt being mentioned in Pod I was asking about him and asking why we not playing his bball highlights which were crazier than all those other prospects. Dude defense film looks like legit 5 star edge, just complete package. Anyway, welcome drinks are in corner.

When I saw the euro step into a spinning 360 layup I was sold during his soph bball tape, I was SOLDDDDD.. Tough to find guys who are aggressive on gridiron and run thru guys on defense while also have real basketball athleticism while back flipping off our high dive board on visit lol.. ELITE
 
I don’t fault a kid for going to UGA. They always develop kids and to me they are the closest program to how Miami operates right now. And let’s not forget there is no better TE recruiter in the country than Hartley
