Scouting Journals for Oscar Delp

Very fluid, functionally athletic tight end who excels at picking up yards after the catch. Doubles as a standout in lacrosse, primarily focusing on that sport before picking up football in high school. Primarily lines up as a receiver for West Forsyth. Runs with natural body lean and shows good reactive quickness within his routes. Dangerous on in-breaking routes with the ability to out-run linebackers and some defensive backs in space. Shows the ability to win at the catch point, though he does not have overly long arms or as large a catch radius as some other top tight ends. Productive against top competition in Georgia as a junior and senior.

Oscar Delp and West Forsyth faced Mill Creek and top 2023 safety Caleb Downs. It was a quieter evening for Delp in the loss. The No. 83 prospect in the 2022 On300 entered the game in the midst of a hot start to his season. Delp entered the contest averaging over 100 receiving yards per game through the first three weeks. The 6-foot-5, 220-pounder is a very fluid mover at tight end. He lines up both split out and in-line for West Forsyth. At this point, Delp is at his best as a catch-and-run target. He does much of his damage in his ability to get open downfield and maximize yardage after the catch. He’s not as advanced of a ball-winner in contested situations as some other top tight ends and we saw that show up at times on Friday. Regardless, the four-star is still off to a strong start overall.
