Always seemed like more of a Frank Wychek H-Back type than a true TE. Still wanted him here though.
maybe o-leary just isn't as good as hyped? i never understood how he was a high 4-star and even 5-star at one point. the kid is about 6'1, 6'2 tops which is extremely small for a TE. and to top it off he's about a 4.7 guy on his best day. he always looked like an h-back fullback type to me. according to a couple fsu guys he was the worst blocker at te as well, they always subbed him out unless it was strictly pass. short, slow, and one dimensional. he wasn't going to live up to that ranking anywhere he went, he just wasn't that good.
Instant Analysis: Giorgio Newberry switches to TE
Jimbo Fisher confirmed moments ago that Florida State's depth at tight end will be two players deeper than originally expected.
Giorgio Newberry and Shayne Broxsie are both on the move to tight end in time for the start of fall camp Tuesday afternoon.
Newberry is entering his redshirt sophomore year and was expected to be in the rotation -- if not pushing for a starting job -- at defensive end. A standout pass rusher and offensive linemen in high school, Newberry redshirted his first year in Tallahassee and then posted 13 tackles in 13 games a season ago behind future NFL players Bjoern Werner, Brandon Jenkins and Tank Carradine.

...ended up with 6'6" 250 pound Beau Sandland and 6'4 260 pound Clive Walford as the top 2 TE's on the roster.
Not bad
