BREAKING: Lawson Luckie is Prepared to Seize the Chance Ahead of Him.

There are many shoes on the Georgia roster that need to be filled, but none bigger than the ones left by Brock Bowers. The two-time All-American, who set all of Georgia’s tight end records after catching the game-winning touchdown pass in Georgia’s 2021 national championship victory over Alabama, is probably going to be selected in the top-10 of the upcoming NFL Draft.

There are many strong candidates for the Bulldogs to take that spot. After serving as Bowers’ wingman in the previous season, Oscar Delp is returning for his junior year. Two of the best prep tight ends in the 2024 class are on campus: Colton Heinrich and Jaden Reddell. But Lawson Luckie, a sophomore, is the most interesting player. Luckie is the most explosive player in the group at 6’3 and 240 pounds, and he could make significant progress in year two.

“Brock [Bowers] is just someone you never turn on or off when you’re around him. In an episode of the Players Lounge featuring former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray, Luckie stated, “He’s always [even].” “You know, he always delivers. Furthermore, it’s nice to see someone who always gives you their best effort, regardless of how they’re feeling.”

Although it will be difficult to match Brock Bowers’ output [40 starts, 2,538 receiving yards, and 31 touchdowns], Luckie believes that no tight end in the room will be able to handle the pressure of the moment.

“No pressure is present. Nobody seems to be expecting us to show up and act like Brock, in my opinion. That’s not realistic at all. Simply put, it feels good to know that a standard has been set. We have a fantastic room coming up, and I can’t wait to see what it is capable of.”

As for Luckie, he is aware of his strengths and areas for development so that he can seize the chance that is before him.

“Having patience and essentially just accepting the method. That’s one thing; I believe I would have progressed more if I had adopted the technique much sooner. Simply put, everything they teach you on a daily basis becomes ingrained in your memory, enabling you to avoid repeating the same mistakes. That’s when your true growth begins.”
