In addition, the Bulldogs' junior linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and senior flanker/punt returner Mikey Henderson were Second-Team picks on the Rivals.com All-SEC squad.
Moreno, a native of Belford, N.J., has rushed for 1,273 yards for an average of 106.1 yards per game and 12 touchdowns. He is the 12th Bulldog in school history to rush for more than 1,000 yards, including six 100-yard games. Moreno's 1,273 yards rank seventh all-time in a single season at Georgia and stands fourth all-time among SEC freshman in a season. He has received several national and SEC player of the week honors this season.
Atkins, a native of Pembroke Pines, Fla., is leading the Bulldogs with 13.5 tackles for loss after starting only six of 12 games this season. He is also second on Georgia's defense with 6.5 sacks and was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week once this year. Atkins is coming off a three-sack performance during a 31-17 win over Georgia Tech on Nov. 24.
Ellerbe, a native of Hamlet, N.C., is Georgia's leading tackler with 85 stops and second on the Bulldogs with 11 tackles for loss. Ellerbe has started at all three linebacker positions this season and has been a key ingredient to Georgia's six-game winning streak.
Henderson, a native of Buford, Ga., leads the Bulldogs' special teams and is third in the SEC in punt return average (11.3). He also is fifth in receiving for Georgia with 17 catches for 234 yards and two touchdowns, including a 25-yard touchdown catch in overtime to beat No. 16 Alabama.
The fourth-ranked Bulldogs finished the regular season 10-2, winning their last six games. Georgia will learn its bowl destination on Sunday.
