Video: New UGA OT bench-presses more than 400 pounds
Will Tyler Catalina, a transfer offensive tackle from FCS school Rhode Island, be able to block SEC defensive linemen? We won’t know for sure until he plays this fall.
One thing we do know – he definitely has the strength to play in the SEC. Catalina’s brother posted a video of the new Bulldog offensive lineman bench-pressing 405 pounds five times.
405×5. I'm just trying to show you @Tycat72 won't be outworked. #UGA about to get a work horse. #OWE #UnderDawg ?? pic.twitter.com/7tLYn44WEF

Catalina originally committed to transfer to Iowa State, but decommitted once other coaches came calling and shifted his interest to the SEC. Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M also offered Catalina.
