BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference on Wednesday announced its 2025 SEC Football Legends class presented by T-Mobile, an assemblage of former football standouts who will be honored at events surrounding the SEC Football Championship Game in Atlanta in December. Randy Johnson, a native of Rome, Georgia, was a standout offensive lineman at the University of Georgia in the mid-1970s. A three-year starter, he earned consensus All-American honors in 1975 and was twice named First Team All-SEC. That year, he also won the Jacobs Blocking Award and was recognized as SEC Lineman of the Year. Known for his power and technique, Johnson was praised by coach Vince Dooley called him the most naturally gifted blocker he ever coached. Johnson captained the Bulldogs to a 9-3 season and a 1976 Cotton Bowl appearance. Drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 1976, he played three seasons in the NFL. After completing his degree in Health and Physical Education in 1984, he dedicated 30 years to teaching and coaching before his retirement. Johnson was inducted into Georgia's Circle of Honor in 2021 and is also a member of the Floyd County Hall of Fame.

INDIANAPOLIS – Recent University of Georgia swimmer Abby McCulloh has been named one of the national Top 30 honorees for the 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year Award, as announced by the award's selection committee Wednesday afternoon. McCulloh was previously nominated by the University of Georgia as she advanced to the Top 30. Established in 1991, the NCAA Woman of the Year Award recognizes female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers. Four Georgia student-athletes have won the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, including three swimmers: Lisa Coole (1997), Kristy Kowal (2000), and Kim Black (2001). Most recently, track and field athlete Keturah Orji was honored in 2018. McCulloh is the 18th Georgia swimmer to be nominated by the university and the 16th Bulldog overall to advance to the Top 30. Georgia is the only school nationally to have produced a top 30 finalist in each of the past four years: cross country/track athlete Samantha Drop (2022), swimmer Callie Dickinson (2023), and equestrian Caitlin Lyons (2024). McCulloh won the 2024 SEC and NCAA championships in the 1,650-yard freestyle, clinching the national title at Bauerle Pool at Gabrielsen Natatorium to become Georgia's first individual female national champion in eight years. In the academic realm, McCulloh received the SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award in April and was twice named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Team (first team – 2024, second team – 2025).
