Georgia once again signed one of the top recruiting classes in the country this recruiting cycle. While there are a lot of recruits that Georgia fans should be really excited about, one that should be at the top of everyone's list is five-star tight end Kaiden Prothro.
Prothro possesses the size and athletic ability that is just impossible to teach at the position. He has a lot of the same attributes that Brock Bowers had when he came to Georgia, so Prothro very easily could be a major contributor for UGA next season as a true freshman.
In fact, out of all the incoming freshen it is Prothro who ESPN believes has the best chance to make a significant impact at Georgia next season.
“Georgia has shown a willingness to utilize its young tight ends early, as recently as this fall with Ethan Barbour and Elyiss Williams,” ESPN said via dawgnation.com. “And Prothro’s versatility will make him a unique weapon for a Georgia offensive staff that views him as a game-breaker capable of playing in multiple offensive spots.”
Kaiden Prothro labeled as Georgia's top incoming freshman for next season
Prothro just wrapped up one of the best high schools careers the state of Georgia has ever seen. Earlier this week he led his team to their fourth straight State Championship where he set the state record for the most touchdown receptions in a career with 66.
This success brought a lot of attention to him throughout his recruitment, but even though other schools made big pitches for him he stuck with Georgia.
Georgia has a lot of elite talent at tight end expected to return next season, but everyone should prepare for big things from Prothro next year. And by the time his career in Athens is over, there is a great chance he will go down as one of the greatest tight ends to ever come through Georgia.
