Senior receiver Chris Conley earned SEC scholar-athlete of the Year honors. That gives Georgia the last two honorees for this award after Aaron Murray garnered the 2013 accolade.
Conley, a native of Dallas, Ga., has compiled a 3.0 or better GPA in each of his 11 academic terms at UGA, including two terms on the Dean’s List. He sports a 3.32 cumulative GPA and is on track to receive his Bachelor’s degree in Journalism in December.
Conley is one of 10 national finalists for the 2014 Senior CLASS Award and was named to the SEC Community Service Team and to the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. Conley was one of 12 finalists for the Wuerffel Trophy and a semifinalist for the Wooden Citizenship Cup.
Conley has led Georgia with 577 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 2014 and trails only Michael Bennett with 32 catches for the Bulldogs. For his career, Conley is ranked fifth in school history with 19 touchdowns to go with 113 receptions for 1,858 yards in 48 games.

At any rate, a well deserved honor. I've heard good things about Conley.

I know they try to be diverse in the awards and honor seniors where appropriate but it really seems Dobbs should've gotten this one. It likely wouldn't mean the same thing to him though given all the academic honors he has so I can definitely see the conference choosing to reward hard work and salute someone else for academic achievement.

Always great to hear about athletes who also excel in the classroom!
One reason I respect the sports in military academies.

I honestly didn't mean it that way and hoped that was clear, especially with the congrats and compliments I gave. I apologize and will delete all but that portion.

Nah. If anything I'm mad at the refs over the Pig Howard 'touchback.' That one hurt although I'm not actually mad about that -- too much time has passed and that call could've gone either way, imo. I have no probs with Conley and said in my OP that I've heard nothing but good things about him. I wouldn't have edited my OP at all if I'd actually intended to downplay the accomplishment or be shitty about it.
