In four seasons with the Stanford Cardinal, Yurosek has logged 108 receptions for 1,342 yards and five touchdowns. He has also rushed 14 times for 114 yards.

Yurosek only played in six games last season due to an injury, but that injury is not expected to hold him back moving forward.

Among the honors Yurosek has received include All-Pac-12 second team tight end – AP (2022), All-Pac-12 second team tight end – Coaches (2022), All-Pac-12 first team tight end – PFF (2021), All-Pac-12 third team tight end – Phil Steele (2021), and All-Pac-12 honorable mention tight end – Coaches (2021, 2023).

Yurosek will join a loaded tight end room in Athens that also includes junior Oscar Delp, sophomore Lawson Luckie, sophomore Pearce Spurlin III, freshman Jaden Reddell, and freshman Colton Heinrich.
