The regular season has officially wrapped up and the conference awards have been announced. If you are a Georgia fan, you can be very proud. The Dawgs were on top of a lot of awards being handed out.

It was no surprise that Kirby Smart was the top coach in the SEC, and named AP SEC Coach of the year. What Smart has done in two years at UGA is a great accomplishment in itself. With the recruiting pipeline that is starting to form into Athens, I don’t see it ending anytime soon. Currently, UGA is ranked third in the nation for its incoming recruiting class featuring the number one recruit in the nation Justin Fields, quarterback from Harrison High School.

First Team SEC awards were headlined by Roquan Smith, SEC Championship MVP and Butkus Award winner. He has been the heartbeat of the defense this year with 113 total stops, 10.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks. He currently is one of the top linebackers for the NFL draft and likely will be a high draft pick. He also was named the SEC Defensive Player of the year for this season. No one can argue with his stats, or what he has done this year.

Joining Smith is Isaiah Wynn, the left tackle for the Dawgs who has been a shining spot for the offensive line. The senior from St. Petersburg, Florida was named SEC Lineman of the week against Vandy earlier in the year, and has had over 30 starts in his career at UGA.

Second team All SEC was headlined by Nick Chubb at running back, Mecole Hardman (All Purpose), Lorenzo Carter (Linebacker), and JR Reed (Safety). Nick Chubb had 191 carries for 1175 yards and 13 touchdowns. where he averaged 6.2 yards per rush. Chubb put his mark on UGA and SEC history and will likely be remembered with some of the all-time great running backs. Chubb’s 4,591 yards is second all time in the SEC behind only Herschel Walker who rushed for 5,259 yards. Chubb passed Darren McFadden for second place Saturday in the SEC Championship. Chubb likely will have to settle with second place because catching Walker is likely out of the question. There is no doubt Chubb still has had an amazing career in Athens that will likely turn into a great NFL career starting next year.

SEC Newcomer of the year was split with Georgia’s Jake Fromm, a true freshman and Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham, the transfer from Baylor. Fromm, a Warner Robins native, started the season as the backup to Jacob Eason. After an injury to Eason in the first game, Fromm was named the starter and he hasn’t looked back since. Completing 63% of his passes for 2173 passing yards with 21 touchdowns and only five interceptions, for a true freshmen in the SEC that is pretty solid. If Fromm and the rest of the Dawgs can handle business they will head back to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for the College Football National Championship game.
