Georgia’s offensive line turned heads in their performance vs. South Carolina on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs rushed for 336 yards and four touchdowns on the way to a 45-16 win in Columbia.

Senior guard Ben Cleveland was named SEC Lineman of the Week while senior center Trey Hill was named the highest-graded interior offensive lineman in college football for week 13 by Pro Football Focus (PFF).

It should be noted that the Gamecocks were down several defensive starters, including Kinsley Enagbare, the SEC’s leader in sacks, but the way Hill played from his center position was awesome to watch and it should boost his NFL Draft stock.

Watch Hill blow a couple of South Carolina defenders off the line to spring running back James Cook for a long run.

It was great to see this Bulldogs offensive line get back on track after just eight yards rushing vs. Mississippi State in week 12.

The No. 9 Bulldogs (6-2) are back in action this Saturday in Athens vs. Vanderbilt (0-8). Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET on SEC Network.

 

Georgia guard Ben Cleveland named SEC Lineman of the Week

UGA guard Ben Cleveland has been named the Southeastern Conference Lineman of the Week after Georgia’s 45-16 win at South Carolina.

Fifth-year senior guard Ben Cleveland has been named the Southeastern Conference Lineman of the Week after his dominating performance in Georgia’s 45-16 win at South Carolina on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs rushed for 332 yards and four touchdowns vs. the Gamecocks.

This marks the second time this season that Cleveland has received the honor (Auburn) and the eighth award given to the Bulldogs this year.

Cleveland is the most experienced lineman on Georgia’s roster and a powerhouse at 6 foot 6, 335 pounds.

The Toccoa, Georgia native decided to stay in Athens for the 2020 season after missing some time in 2018 and 2019 with injuries.

Cleveland’s decision to stay has paid off as he recently accepted an invitation to the Reese’s Senior Bowl, joining teammates Malik Herring and Tre McKitty.

The annual showcase is pivotal for guys like Cleveland who look to improve their draft potential ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft in late April.
