ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia swept the Southeastern Conference’s weekly line awards Monday, with sophomore Dontrell Glover named Offensive Lineman of the Week and junior Joseph Jonah-Ajonye named Defensive Lineman of the Week after the Bulldogs’ 20-17 win at Alabama.
The dual honors capped a road performance that vaulted Georgia to No. 1 in the Top 25 and left the Bulldogs as the league’s only unbeaten team heading into the Auburn rivalry.
Glover’s recognition underscores an offensive line that has helped quarterback Gunner Stockton stay efficient on third downs while Georgia leaned on ball control in Tuscaloosa. Jonah-Ajonye’s defensive award fits a unit that allowed only three points in the second half against Alabama.
League offices announce the weekly honors each Monday based on the previous weekend’s games. Georgia’s line play has been central to a 5-0 start that now includes a signature win in a hostile SEC environment.
The Bulldogs host Auburn next in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, giving both award winners a quick turnaround to back up the certificates in front of a home crowd at Sanford Stadium.
Program notes from the university athletic department said the sweep reflected a league announcement Monday pairing Glover and Jonah-Ajonye after their work against the Crimson Tide.
With poll position now on Georgia’s side, the coaching staff will look for the same trench dominance that earned the weekly awards to travel into the Auburn week and protect an unbeaten SEC mark.
Those trench wins are the quiet half of Georgia football when the scoreboard stays tight, and Monday’s awards made that work visible across the conference for a team suddenly sitting alone at No. 1.
