On3 released their 2025 All-American team, and two Georgia Bulldogs made the team: linebacker CJ Allen and punter Brett Thorson. It’s less than the Ohio State Buckeyes (five) and the same amount as the Indiana Hoosiers (two), which proves how good of a coach Kirby Smart is.

Linebacker CJ Allen was projected to go in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft entering this season, even as a junior. This year, he lived up to his first-round pedigree, leading the Bulldogs in tackles (85) and forced fumbles (two) despite suffering an injury that took him out for 1 1/2 games. He also ranked second in sacks (3 1/2) and fourth in passes defended (four). His goal-line forced fumble against the Auburn Tigers was arguably the biggest play of Georgia’s season.

Punter Brett Thorson only had 42 total punts on the season (a little over three a game) but he made them count. His net average of 43.0 yards was the fourth highest in the SEC, and his long of 66 yards is also fourth in the SEC. He came up big in the SEC championship against Alabama, with five of his seven punts landing inside the 20. Considering that was a year since he suffered a season-ending knee injury against Texas in the 2024 SEC championship, it’s a story of resilience from Thorson.

A few Georgia Bulldogs were snubbed from the list. Cornerback Ellis Robinson IV was tied for the SEC lead in interceptions (4) with Kentucky defensive back Ty Bryant and Alabama safety Bray Hubbard. Kicker Peyton Woodring was second in the SEC in field goal percentage (93.8%) while nailing all 50 of his extra points. There were several Georgia Bulldogs on the All-SEC team, but All-American or not, Kirby Smart coaches players to win.
