ATHENS - UGA Football LB Raylen Wilson and UGA DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins have earned Southeastern Conference weekly honors following No. 2 Georgia's road win over Kentucky, according to a league announcement Monday.

Wilson, a native of Tallahassee, Fla., was named the Co-Defensive Player of the Week while Ingram-Dawkins, a native of Gaffney, S.C., shared the Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week honor following the 13-12 victory over the Wildcats.

After the Bulldogs' week one win over No. 14 Clemson, Carson Beck was the Co-Offensive Player of the Week and Peyton Woodring was the Co-Special Teams Player of the Week.

Wilson finished with five tackles, including a sack for loss of 28 yards, and forced a fumble during Georgia's third straight win to start the year.  His second tackle was his sack that forced a fumble in UGA territory, resulting in a Georgia field goal to tie the game at 3-all.  Wilson and Ingram-Dawkins have helped anchor a defense that kept its third straight opponent in 2024 to zero touchdowns.
