Athens, Georgia — The Southeastern Conference has named true freshman inside linebacker, CJ Allen, as the Freshman of the Week following his standout performance against No. 9 Ole Miss. This marks the first time a Bulldog defensive player has received this honor since Malaki Starks was recognized last year after a win over No. 1 Tennessee.
This is the 10th SEC weekly honor for the Bulldogs this season. The previous recipients include Sedrick Van Pran, Smael Mondon, Peyton Woodring, Carson Beck, Ladd McConkey, and Nazir Stackhouse for various outstanding contributions to the team.
Allen, a Barnesville, Georgia native, showcased his skills by leading the Bulldogs in tackles with nine stops, including a sack, during his first start filling in for the injured Jamon Dumas-Johnson. He was part of a defensive unit that held the Rebels to just three points in the second half.
The No. 2 (CFP) Bulldogs with a 10-0 record, will head to Knoxville, Tennessee to face No. 13 Tennessee on Saturday. The matchup will be televised on CBS at 3:30 p.m. ET, with SEC Nation also making the trip to Tennessee’s campus.
