A scouting report on Georgia senior tight end Oscar Delp assesses him as a mid-Day 3 prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound player showed good athleticism and blocking effort but faced production limits due to injury and usage. Analysts note his potential as a slot tight end against lighter defenders.
Oscar Delp, a senior tight end from Georgia measuring 6'5 and 245 pounds, has started 34 games over four seasons. In 2025, he recorded 20 catches for 261 yards and 1 touchdown despite playing through a hairline fracture discovered at the 2026 Combine via X-ray, which caused him to miss drills. His career totals stand at 70 receptions, 854 yards, and 9 touchdowns. He also dealt with a slight ankle sprain in 2024 against Tennessee Tech but missed no games overall. Delp earned Preseason All-SEC Second Team honors in 2025, Third Team in 2024, and appeared on the Mackey Award watch list from 2023 to 2025. As a recruit, the four-star prospect from West Forsyth High School ranked as the nation's top tight end and committed to Georgia after observing coach Todd Monken's usage of freshman tight end Brock Bowers. Georgia won the CFP National Championship in 2022 with Delp on the roster. Strengths include good athletic ability, body control, vertical speed to stretch the field, reliable hands, solid pad level, high-effort blocking with strong hand placement and grip against defensive backs, and cut blocking on split zone plays. He projects well in the slot, controlling lighter defenders. Weaknesses encompass insufficient inline blocking strength and finishing ability against defensive linemen, receiver-like build, limited route tree, low production as Georgia's primary tight end was elsewhere, struggles breaking tackles or separating in zone coverage, and needing route-running technique refinement for sharp breaks. The report, based on games against Alabama, Ole Miss, and Texas in 2025 plus Ole Miss in playoffs, grades him 6.7 (pure backup, range 5.9-7.1) as a powerful slot tight end who must expand his route tree and bolster strength.
