Kicker hit game-winner in Camellia Bowl as time expired
STATESBORO - Georgia Southern kicker Tyler Bass was named to the Associated Press' all-bowl team, as announced Thursday afternoon. The outlet chooses the best performances from the 40 bowl games and puts out its team each year.
Bass, a rising senior from Irmo, South Carolina, made all three of his field-goal attempts, including a 40-yarder as time expired to beat Eastern Michigan 23-21. He also made field goals from 50 (as time expired in the first half) and 35 yards.
Bass was a first-team All-Sun Belt selection by the conference, Southern Pigskin, Pro Football Focus and Phil Steele. The semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award tied the school record with 19 field goals on the season, including a school-record tying 10 of 40 yards or longer. He was 45-for-45 on PATs and threw a two-point conversion.

It marks the second time in as many bowl appearances an Eagle has landed on the prestigious squad as defensive back Caleb Williams was honored in 2015 after breaking up five passes in Georgia Southern's 58-27 GoDaddy Bowl victory over Bowling Green. Matt Johnson, one of the nation's most prolific passers, was 15 of 34 for 246 yards against Georgia Southern.Here's the @GSEaglesVoice call of Tyler Bass' game winner! #ItIsWell pic.twitter.com/BVGXBG1ErH
