Georgia true freshman tailback Todd Gurley has been named to the Football Writers Association of America Freshman All-America Team.
Gurley became the 12th Bulldog to rush for 1,000 yards in a season and the first since Knowshon Moreno in 2008.
Gurley went for 1,385 yards, which ranks sixth in school history for a single season, and 17 touchdowns (a UGA freshman record) on 222 carries.
Only Gurley and Bulldog legend Herschel Walker have tallied 1,000-yard seasons in their true freshman seasons.
Gurley was also named to the Sporting News Freshman All-America Team and to Phil Steele’s All-Freshman First Team.
