Special Teams national award announced

Martin Luther King (GA) return man Blake Tibbs was named the Special Teams Player of the Year during the award ceremony at the 6th-annual Offense-Defense All-America Game on December 29th, as announced by game officials.

The Georgia native finished with two kickoff returns for touchdowns while averaging an impressive 40.3 yards per return as a senior. On offense he totaled 1,087 yards and 15 touchdowns on 66 receptions. He also had 27 punt returns for 77 yards. Tibbs is committed to the University of Georgia.

"Tibbs is a blazing fast kid who can score if he just gets a couple blocks, "said Offense-Defense Director of Player Personnel Josh Buchanan, "I think Georgia is getting a great person and player who should become a playmaker both on offense and special teams for the Bulldogs."
