Brock Bowers is back.

Georgia named the All-American tight end its starter for Saturday's game against Ole Miss, according to Seth Emerson of The Athletic.

Bowers missed the Bulldogs' last two contests due to a high ankle sprain. He underwent surgery on Oct. 16, only two days after sustaining the injury versus Vanderbilt.

One of the nation's biggest offensive threats, Bowers was considered a game-time decision for the Ole Miss matchup. He participated in pregame warmups with Georgia's first team.

Despite missing multiple games this season, Bowers leads the Bulldogs with 41 catches, 567 receiving yards, and four touchdowns in seven appearances. He had at least 55 receptions, 880 yards, and seven TDs in each of the last two campaigns while helping Georgia win back-to-back national titles.

The 9-0 Bulldogs are on a 26-game win streak, the longest mark in the FBS.
