LSU freshman named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week

Will Campbell shined in his return to the field.

What a difference a week makes for [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag].

He had to sit out for the Tennessee game due to an illness that sent him to the hospital. One week later, he found himself starting at offensive tackle in the Swamp against the Florida Gators. He was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week for his efforts.

Life comes at you fast, and Campbell was ready for the challenge. Thanks to his blocking, [autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag] was able to run for 106 yards on 14 carries, and [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] had all day to throw the ball.

Daniels finished with 349 yards and three touchdowns through the air. If you are going to win a tough game, especially on the road, you have to win the game in the trenches. LSU did that against the Gators.

Campbell is only a freshman, so this could be one of the many awards he receives during his career in Baton Rouge. The future looks bright at offensive tackle for the Tigers.

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.
