Cleveland Earns SEC Honor

Toccoa’s Ben Cleveland, Georgia Bulldogs junior right guard, has earned a weekly Southeastern Conference honor.

Cleveland has been named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after the Bulldogs’ blanked Missouri, 27 to 0, in Athens Saturday night.

This is Cleveland’s first honor of this kind, as he graded out at 86 percent and only allowed a single pressure on Bulldog quarterback Jake Fromm during Georgia’s victory.

Cleveland had seven knockdown blocks and helped the Bulldogs pile up 339 yards, including 166 on the ground, versus a Tiger defense that ranked in the top 20 in several national categories.

Cleveland played at Stephens County High School from 2012-2015.
