Redshirt senior Corey Robinson has been named SEC offensive lineman of the week after his performance against Georgia, the league office announced Monday.
Robinson, who joins placekicker Elliot Fry as the second Gamecock football player to receive recognition from the conference this year, blocked for a South Carolina offense that accounted for 447 total offensive yards Saturday.
Along with redshirt senior A.J. Cann, Robinson, the six-foot-eight, 344-pound offensive tackle helped anchor the left side of Gamecocks’ offensive line, which South Carolina mostly ran behind in the second half. He also notched 11 knockdown blocks, including three pancake blocks.
Robinson is the first offensive lineman to receive the honor since Cann's 2013 selection for his performance against Central Florida.
Fry received the SEC special teams player of the week award last week after knocking in all four of his field goal attempts against East Carolina. He converted from 39, 42, 26 and 20 yards out in the Gamecocks’ 33-23 win over the Pirates. Fry was also perfect on all three of his extra-point attempts.
He has made good on five of his six field goal attempts this season, which is slightly above 83 percent. His only miss of the season came against Texas A&M in the opener when he missed from 54 yards out.
Fry leads the team with 27 points.
This is the second time Fry has been selected for the award. He earned his first SEC special teams player of the week last year after booting the Gamecocks' go-ahead field goal against Missouri in a 27-24 double overtime win.
