Kirby Smart has been named the Associated Press SEC Coach of the Year.

Smart thus far has led the Bulldogs to a 12-1 record, including a berth in the College Football Playoffs on Dec. 31 against Michigan.

He was not the only Bulldog so honored.

Tight end Brock Bowers was tabbed the SEC Newcomer of the Year. The native of Napa, California, leads Georgia in receiving with 47 catches for 791 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Alabama quarterback Bryce Young and Crimson Tide linebacker Will Anderson were named the league’s Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, respectively.

Bowers was one of four Bulldogs to be voted to the first team. Others include nose tackle Jordan Davis, linebacker Nakobe Dean, and safety Lewis Cine.

Six players earned second-team honors.

They include offensive linemen Justin Shaffer and Jamaree Salyer, along with defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, linebacker Channing Tindall, cornerback Derion Kendrick, and punter Jake Camarda.
