Senior Devonte Wyatt has been named Southeastern Conference Defensive Linemen of the Week, following the Bulldogs' 37-0 win over No. 8 Arkansas.

In an Oct. 4 news release, the team said it was the Bulldogs’ seventh weekly honor this season and the first for Wyatt.

“Wyatt was the centerpiece of a defensive front that allowed only 162 total yards and just nine first downs as the Bulldogs pushed their start to 5-0," the team said in the release. 

Wyatt registered a team-high six stops, including 1.5 sacks, and forced a fumble against Arkansas.

According to the release, this came on a stalled drive, leading the opposing team to a missed field goal. 

Teammates Brock Bowers, Nolan Smith, Adonai Mitchell, Stetson Bennett, Christopher Smith and Jordan Davis received the honor earlier this season.
