1. Georgia image Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Height: 6-4. Weight: 230.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Projected Round (2025): 1.

7/17/23: In 2022, Bowers recorded 63 receptions for 942 yards and seven touchdowns. He was phenomenal, showing great athleticism, speed, and receiving ability. Bowers was a freshman sensation for the Bulldogs in 2021 and a huge receiving weapon in helping Georgia win its first National Championship since 1980. Immediately, Bowers was a mismatch weapon with excellent speed, athleticism, and run-after-the-catch ability. In 2021, he recorded 56 receptions for 882 yards and 13 touchdowns.



2. LSU image Mason Taylor*, TE, LSU
Height: 6-5. Weight: 245.
Projected 40 Time: 4.65.
Projected Round (2025): 1-2.

7/17/23: Taylor was an instant contributor as a freshman and provided some clutch plays for the Tigers. In his debut season, he had 38 receptions for 414 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor has a good natural build to go along with impressive speed and athleticism. He could be a riser in 2023 and 2024.



3. Texas image Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas
Height: 6-3. Weight: 250.
Projected 40 Time: 4.69.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/17/23: Sanders emerged as a dangerous receiving weapon in 2022, showing mismatch speed and athleticism. On the year, he recorded 54 receptions for 613 yards and five touchdowns. Sanders needs to improve as a blocker, but he has upside to be even better in 2023 or 2024.



4. Nebraska image Arik Gilbert, TE, Nebraska
Height: 6-5. Weight: 248.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/17/23: In the scouting community, Gilbert has been known to be a freak athlete with a special skill set for years. He started out his collegiate career at LSU before a winding transfer process that went through Florida and Georgia. Gilbert did not play in 2021, and 2020 was his only season of play thus far, with 35 catches for 368 yards and two touchdowns. In 2022 with the Bulldogs, Gilbert was behind Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington. Gilbert caught two passes for 16 yards and a touchdown. After the season, he transferred to Nebraska.

Gilbert has character concerns, but he is said to have a tremendous skill set. That physical talent saw NFL advance scouts giving him an early-round projection entering the 2022 season.
