Scouting Report
Georgia · 2026 draft class
Oscar Delp is an athletic, alignment-versatile tight end prospect from Georgia with rare physical tools but limited production volume. A four-star recruit from West Forsyth High School in Cumming, Georgia (class of 2022), Delp has been developing behind NFL talents like Darnell Washington and Brock Bowers. His career includes 50 catches for 593 yards and eight touchdowns through three seasons at Georgia, with his 2024 campaign marking his emergence as the primary tight end. Delp is a smooth mover with explosive athleticism who can align in-line, in the slot, or flexed wide, spending over a third of his snaps in the slot. He possesses seam-stretching speed that creates mismatche's against linebackers and safeties, with the burst and acceleration to challenge pursuit angles after the catch. Despite being underweight for a traditional in-line tight end at 245 pounds, he has evolved into a surprisingly reliable blocker who uses intelligence, angles, and competitive effort to maintain run lanes and excel on the perimeter. Delp projects as an early-career TE2 with the tools to develop into a primary starter by the end of his rookie contract, though he needs refinement in route-running precision, press coverage releases, and consistent strength to become a true three-down player.

- Struggles with press coverage and physical contact early in routes that derail his patterns
- Low contact balance and lacks play strength to consistently break tackles despite his speed
- Run blocking technique needs refinement with tendency to be pulled forward and off balance
- Doesn't play to his size at catch point
