ATHENS — Georgia football youth was served on Wednesday with three Bulldogs making the FWAA Freshman All-American team.
Cornerback Ellis Robinson IV, defensive tackle Elijah Griffin and offensive guard Dontrell Glover were among the 32 true freshmen and redshirt freshmen honored.
Robinson IV, who tied for the SEC lead with four interceptions, is also one of three finalists for FWAA Freshman Defensive Player of the Year, which will be announced on Thursday.

It matches the 2022 trio of Brett Thorson and future first-round NFL draft picks Malaki Starks and Mykel Williams, and the 2018 trio that included Cade Mays and future first-round NFL picks Jordan Davis and Isaiah Wilson.
Glover, who played at Langston Hughes High School, was a starter at right guard for UGA over the final 12 games of the seaso. The Bulldogs averaged 182.1 yards rushing a game.
Griffith, who played at Savannah Christian Prep, played in all 14 contests and made 22 stops, including 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack, and had a forced fumble. UGA held opponents to just 81.5 yards rushing per game.
Robinson, a native of New Haven, Connecticut who played two years at IMG Academy, made 12 starts in his second year at Georgia after playing in four games his redshirt season (2024).
Robinson tied for the SEC lead with four interceptions.
