Georgia Bulldogs tight end Brock Bowers put on an absolute show on Saturday during UGA’s 48-7 road win over the South Carolina Gamecocks.
The sophomore tight end caught five passes for 121 yards and had three total touchdowns (two receiving, one rushing).
Bowers’ big game in Columbia earned him Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors, which the SEC announced on Monday.
This was the fifth time in Bowers’ short career that he has finished a game with over 100 receiving yards and the second time he has scored three touchdowns in a single contest.
Through three games this season, Bowers has 10 receptions for 216 yards and three total touchdowns.
