Tight End

Georgia Bulldogs-Charlie Woerner 6’5″, 245 pound, senior, 4 star recruit out of Tiger, GA.

Two receptions for 7 yards and zero receiving touchdowns in three games in 2019.

Notre Dame Irish-Cole Kmet 6’5″, 230 pound, junior, 4 star recruit out of Arlington Heights, IL. 

Has not played in 2019, due to a broken collarbone injury sustained in the preseason.

Advantage-Notre Dame

If Cole Kmet is 100 percent healthy, his speed, athleticism and pass catching ability are all superior to that of Woerner’s. Both tight ends made the preseason watch list for the Mackey Award, given to college football’s best tight end. Kmet presents the Irish with a big body receiving target in short yardage downs. In addition, he is an elite red zone target for Ian Book. His return will be a welcome addition to the Notre Dame offense.

Notre Dame also features the uber-athletic Tommy Tremble, who could be a sleeper and a potential game changer on Saturday.
