No. 42 in our Roster Review Series is yet another example of a young man living a dream simply by being a member of the Georgia football team.

Walk-on tight end Michael Werntz is approaching his third season with the program, where he plays a key role as a member of the scout team.

A graduate of Marist High School, where he was a teammate of fellow Bulldog tight end John FitzPatrick, Werntz is one of four walk-ons currently playing the position for the Bulldogs.

Werntz earned All-Region honors his senior year at Marist, lettering in both football and baseball. He also earned the “Tough Nut” Award for playing through a torn UCL his senior season.

For more on Werntz:

Werntz started 2019 as a member of the Scout team after earning a spot on the Black Team in last year's G-Day game.

Once fall practice began, the Brookhaven native honed his craft with the rest of the tight ends, while spending time as a member of the scout team.

Werntz has yet to appear in a game.

Year three is expected to see Werntz reprise his role as a member of the scout team.

He'll also look to continue his academic success.

A Biological Engineering Major, Werntz made the 2019 Honor Roll for the Bulldogs, and will be looking to repeat that feat this fall.
