It’s still very early and a lot of names can emerge between now and the end of next season, but given his tremendous freshman year with the Bulldogs, Georgia football tight end Brock Bowers is considered a top-ten Heisman candidate by On3’s Matt Zenitz.
Zenitz ranked his top-ten candidates heading into the spring this week, and Bowers checked in at No. 7 on the list.
As a true freshman, Bowers was easily Georgia’s biggest offensive weapon this past season. He reeled in 56 catches for 882 yards, 13 receiving touchdowns and 1 rushing touchdown en route to being named a member of the Associated Press and Coaches’ All-SEC First Team. His 13 receiving touchdowns are a single season record at UGA. He was also named the SEC Freshman of the Year.
