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