Undersized White fitting in at tight end
Submitted by Marc Weiszer on Wed, 08/20/2008 - 8:11pm.
Aron White doesn’t have the prototypical size for a tight end.
That’s OK with Georgia tight ends coach John Lilly, whose most productive player at the position at Florida State played at 228 pounds, the same weight as White.
Brandon Warren was a freshman All-American in 2006 when he had 28 catches for 301 yards. He transferred to Tennessee, which announced Tuesday that the NCAA has cleared him to play.
A year ago, the 6-foot-4 White worked with the receivers in the preseason and called himself a tight end/receiver. No more.
The Columbia, Mo. native played at 214 pounds this spring, but was up to 228 this preseason.
“Aron has kind of flicked the switch now that he’s going to be a tight end,” Lilly said. “He’s not a hybrid guy. He’s not going to move outside or stay inside or not sure what my position is. That’s the No. 1 most important thing.”
