Brock Bowers was one of the few positives for Georgia in the first Alabama game as the freshman tight end put up 10 catches for 139 yards and a touchdown, which was a career high.

Bowers has had one of the best seasons for a tight end in recent memory, and on Friday against Michigan became Georgia’s single-season leader for touchdown receptions with 12, and he also owns the receptions record with 53 so far this season.

But he’s done it all with a nagging shoulder injury he’s experienced for much of the season.

“Brock Bowers is good,” Kirby Smart said at a Monday press conference, per On3 Sports. “It’s something you have to deal with.”

Bowers in the Orange Bowl finished the game with 6 catches for 68 yards and a touchdown, but was held out as a precaution near the end of the 34-11 win over Michigan.

Bowers in December was named to the Associated Press and Coaches’ All-SEC First Team.
