UGA Football: four Dawgs Were Included on the Preseason AP All-American Team

Leave a comment

Four Georgia Bulldogs have made the preseason all-american teams. Three on defense and one on offense. Here are UGA’s Ap All-Americans, followed by the complete list:

FIRST TEAM DEFENSE
CB Ellis Robinson
S KJ Bolden

SECOND TEAM OFFENSE
C Drew Bobo

SECOND TEAM DEFENSE
LB Raylen Wilson

IMO it might be a little early for Elijah Griffin to be here, but I would probably still have him as at least third team if there was one. Also no reason Peyton Woodring shouldn’t be on here.
