Peyton Woodring Wins Third Straight SEC Weekly Honor

ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia true freshman place-kicker Peyton Woodring has earned his third consecutive Southeastern Conference weekly honor following the Bulldogs' 37-20 road win over Vanderbilt, according to a league announcement Monday.

Woodring, a native of Lafayette, La., has garnered his third straight SEC Freshman Player of the Week honor in his career.  The last Georgia player to win this award three weeks in a row was Nick Chubb in 2014.  In fact, Chubb won the award in consecutive weeks following wins over Vanderbilt and Missouri before collecting the honor three straight weeks after wins over Kentucky, Auburn and Charleston Southern.

This marks the sixth SEC weekly honors for the Bulldogs this season.  Junior center Sedrick Van Pran was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week on Sept. 18 for Georgia's first weekly honor this season.  Junior linebacker Smael Mondon (Defensive Player) and Woodring (Freshman) earned the honors after the road win over Auburn.  Woodring was again named the league's Co-Freshman last week after the win over No. 20 Kentucky while Beck was the SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week.

Woodring hit all three of his field goals, including a career-long 44 yarder, and was a perfect 4-for-4 on PATs during the victory over the Commodores.

Following an off week this Saturday, the No. 1 Bulldogs (7-0, 4-0 SEC) travel to Jacksonville, Fla., to face Florida (5-2, 3-1) in EverBank Stadium on Oct. 28.  CBS will televise the matchup at 3:30 p.m. ET.
