The Georgia Bulldogs have three players on the All-SEC freshman team, which is the most in the conference.

Georgia redshirt freshman running back Chauncey Bowens made the team despite a nagging injury slowing him down over the last several weeks. He went down with an injury in the SEC championship against Alabama and it is unclear if he'll be 100% for the College Football Playoff.

Bowens posted 98 carries for 516 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns this season. He took over for Nate Frazier as Georgia's top running back during early parts of the year while Frazier dealt with fumble issues.

Offensive lineman Dontrell Glover, a true freshman, and former three-star recruit also made the All-SEC freshman team. Glover made an instant impact with Georgia this season. He appeared in all 13 games for UGA including several starts. He along with five-star recruit Juan Gaston both saw a lot of early playing time with Georgia as true freshmen. However, Gaston did not make the All-SEC freshman team.

Defensive lineman Elijah Griffin has lived up to his five-star recruiting ranking in his first season in Athens and earned an All-SEC freshman team nod. Griffin has recorded 18 tackles and a sack this season and has already shown a significant amount of proficiency as a pass rusher.

Georgia redshirt freshman defensive back Ellis Robinson is the Bulldogs' biggest snub from the All-SEC freshman team. Robinson is playing at an elite level and leads the SEC with four interceptions.
