Redshirt freshman offensive tackle Warren McClendon has been named to the Football Writers Association of American (FWAA) Freshman All-America Team, according to an announcement on Monday.

McClendon, a native of Brunswick, Ga., started the final nine games at right tackle for the Bulldogs (8-2), who finished No. 7 in the final polls.  Georgia highlighted its season with a 24-21 win over No. 8 Cincinnati in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
