ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia junior tight end Brock Bowers has been named one of 12 semifinalists for the Lombardi Award, according to an announcement from the award and the Rotary Club of Houston.
The Lombardi Award is given annually to college football's offensive or defensive lineman who exemplifies the character and discipline of NFL Hall of Fame head coach Vince Lombardi in addition to outstanding performance and ability.
Bowers, a native of Napa, Calif., and former Bulldog All-American and current Philadelphia Eagle Jalen Carter were finalists for the 2022 Lombardi Award. Three-time All-American David Pollack is Georgia's only Lombardi winner in 2004.
Bowers is Georgia's leading receiver with 41 catches for 567 yards (13.8 avg.) and four touchdowns in seven games this season. The 2022 Mackey Award winner also has six carries for 28 yards and a score on the ground in 2023. He had ankle surgery on Oct. 16 and is expected to make a full recovery.
The No. 1/1/2 Bulldogs (8-0, 5-0 SEC) play host on Dooley Field in Sanford Stadium to No. 14/14/12 Missouri (7-1, 3-1) in a Homecoming matchup on Saturday. CBS will televise the matchup at 3:30 p.m. ET.
