ATHENS - UGA QB and former 5-star Prince Ave Christan School QB Brock Vandagriff was named Georgia’s Gatorade Player of the Year on Thursday. 

The current Georgia Bulldog is coming off an incredible senior season where he led his Prince Avenue Christian Wolverines to a state title while throwing for over 4,100 yards and 46 touchdowns. He also added over 500 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns.

There wasn’t much more Vandagriff could’ve done last season, and now he’s been named the winner of the Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year. 

It was an easy decision to make. Dawg Post saw Vandagriff as much, if not more than any other outlet last fall. Even as he dealt with a knee injury for most of the season, Vandagriff proved why he’s a 5-star and one of the top prospects in the country.

The 6-foot-3 205-pounder made every throw you could imagine last year, but more impoartantly, he's a smart, confident player who knows how to lead. A coach’s son, Vandagriff knows how to dissect defenses and make the right reads. He also knows when to throw the ball with some zip and pushes the ball downfield accurately. Of course, his ability to run also makes him such a dynamic quarterback. He runs really well for his size and showed off his legs for big gains multiple times in the state championship game.

If anyone in Georgia was worthy of Gatorade Player of the Year honors, it was Vandagriff. Here are some clips from last season that proved why he won the award...
