THE RED & BLACK 7B
Charles ‘expects perfection’ out of himself BY CHRIS D’ANIELLO The Red & Black Rarely does a collegiate tight end need to worry about garnering too much hype. But in Orson Charles’ case, there is an awful lot of it. Charles was named to the first team preseason AllSEC team and to the first team All-American team by Sporting News. He was also named to the John Mackey Award watch list, given to the nation’s most outstanding tight end. But the junior from Tampa, Fla., does not pay attention to anything outside of himself and his team. “I don’t really focus on the media, I barely look at my Twitter or my Facebook,” Charles said. “I just stay focused, keep running, working hard after practice because I’m in that leader role. “One thing we’ve been doing a lot this year is just not worrying what other people think about us. That big team meeting room — what’s in that meeting room — that’s all we have, that’s all we’re going to depend on.” Charles led Georgia’s tight ends in receptions and yards with 26 catches for 422 yards in 2010. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray said what makes Charles such a force is his work ethic. “He’s a kid that just goes to work every day, doesn’t listen to any of the outside stuff,” Murray said. “He just works and works. He’s one of the hardest working kids on the team.” Charles’ expectations for himself also drive him to try to be perfect, Murray said. “On the practice field, he expects perfection out of himself,” he said of Charles. “If he drops a ball or misses a block, he gets pretty upset with himself. But that’s what makes him so great, the next play he’s going to make up for it — he’s going to make a spectacular catch or make a great block.” Playing from the tight end position, Charles will typically be covered by linebackers or safeties, which Murray said is a “great mismatch.” Even if he is not making catches, Charles can help the offense blocking or by helping other receivers get open. “Orson Charles, being the great player he is,” freshman wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell said, “Everyone we play is going to know who he is. So that’s going to free up the linebacker area. It’s definitely good to have him on the team.” Charles’ presence goes beyond what he does on the field. As a team leader, he is also able to help teach younger players, such as freshman tight end Jay Rome. “One thing I see in Orson and I try to pattern myself, when Orson gets out on the field, he just turns into an animal,” Rome said. “It is like a switch that flips on when he gets onto the field. Off the field, Orson can be the nicest guy. You’d never even think he could get mean and nasty but it’s just a switch flips on and Orson goes and gets it. He’s a great guy to learn from.” More than anything, Charles just wants to have an affect on the game and help his team win. He has even told coaches that he wants to be on every special teams unit. “I just want to do whatever it takes to win,” Charles said.
“I don't really focus on the media, I barely look at my Twitter or my Facebook.” Orson Charles, tight end Orson Charles enters the season as one of the nation's top returning tight ends and he’ll help the receivers as opposing defensive coordinators design defenses to shut him down, opening up the middle.
