Georgia football offensive guard Dontrell Glover and defensive tackle Joseph Jonah-Ajonye have each been named SEC Players of the Week, the SEC announced Monday.

Glover, who hails from Fairburn, Ga., was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week for his performance in the Bulldogs’ 20-17 victory over Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

Georgia’s Dontrell Glover, a sophomore offensive guard from Fairburn, Ga., graded out at 89 percent overall with a 95 percent pass-protection grade in the Bulldogs’ 20-17 road win at No. 6 Alabama. He posted three knockdown blocks and one pin.

Glover helped quarterback Gunner Stockton complete 82 percent of his passes, going 18-for-22 for 249 yards. He was part of an offense that totaled 455 yards, went 4-for-4 in the red zone and allowed just one sack.

Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, a native of Shenandoah, Texas, was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week following his performance in the victory over the Tide.

Georgia’s Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, a junior defensive tackle from Shenandoah, Texas, posted two tackles, including a sack, and forced a fumble in the Bulldogs’ 20-17 road win at No. 6 Alabama. His strip-sack on the Tide’s opening drive was recovered by Georgia, which turned the takeaway into a field goal.

Jonah-Ajonye was part of a defense that held Alabama to 6-of-13 on third down, recorded four sacks and kept the Tide scoreless in the first and fourth quarters.
