In a vote of SEC media who attended the conference’s annual media days this week, held at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, 12 Georgia Bulldogs were chosen either first-team, second-team or third-team preseason All-SEC.
Defensive backs Deandre Baker and J.R. Reed and place-kicker Rodrigo Blankenship were the headliners, as each was a first-team selection.
Five Bulldogs made second-team offense: running back D’Andre Swift, wide receiver Terry Godwin, tight end Isaac Nauta and offensive linemen Andrew Thomas and Lamont Gaillard. Defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter and linebacker D’Andre Walker made second-team defense. Mecole Hardman was chosen second-team return specialist.
Jake Fromm was tied with Nick Fitzgerald of Mississippi State as the third-team quarterback, behind Drew Lock of Missouri and Jarrett Stidham of Auburn.
