Georgia Lands 5 Players on AP First Team All-SEC Team

Two days after Georgia defeated LSU 50-30 in the SEC Championship, the Bulldogs landed 5 players on the AP's First Team All-SEC Team, 4 on the Second Team.

The Associated Press has announced their selections for the All-SEC Teams.

Following their SEC Championship win, the Georgia Bulldogs are well represented on the list. Brock Bowers, Broderick Jones, Jack Podlesny, Jalen Carter, and Christopher Smith were all named to the First Team, with Bowers the only unanimous selection.

Sedrick Van Pran, Darnell Washington, Jamon Dumas-Johnson, and Kelee Ringo were all named to the Second Team.

Georgia was the only team with 5 First Team All-SEC selections, but after going undefeated and winning the SEC Championship, Georgia was left out of the individual awards. Kirby Smart did receive 3 first-place votes for Coach of the year, but was beaten out by Tennessee’s Josh Heupel (6). Georgia defeated then-No. 1 Tennessee 27-13 in Athens, holding the Volunteers to their lowest scoring output of the season. LSU’s Brian Kelly received 5 first-place votes.

  • Offensive player of the year: Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee
  • Defensive player of the year: u-Will Anderson Jr., LB, Alabama
  • Coach of the year: Josh Heupel, Tennessee
  • Newcomer of the year: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ole Miss
