Baldwin’s Bullard, Bleckley County’s Mims make All-SEC
A pair of Central Georgians are among more than a dozen UGA players to make the All-SEC preseason team.
Baldwin’s Javon Bullard is a first-team pick on defense and Bleckley County’s Amarius Mims a first-team pick on offense.
Bullard started 10 of 14 games last year, and was fifth with 46 tackles. He was the defensive MVP in the semifinal win over Ohio State and in the national championship win over TCU.
Mims played in 14 games and started one, mostly at left tackle.
Both are juniors.
