The Mackey Award, given annually to the nation’s top tight end, recognized Bowers as the tight end of the week for his performance versus the Tigers. Bowers won the award last season.

Bowers is on track to set multiple all-time Georgia receiving records. At his current pace, Bowers will set the single-season receiving yards record this season, and he is seven scores away from tying Terrance Edwards for the most receiving touchdowns in UGA history. Bowers already owns the single-season receiving touchdowns record.

It’s plays like these that set Bowers apart from the rest.
