SEC names Football Players of the Week after Week 11

The SEC has named their Football Players of the Week following the action that took place this past weekend in Week 11.

There was a bunch of thrilling action within the conference this past weekend. Ole Miss captured their biggest win of the Lane Kiffin era, defeating Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs in Oxford, while Tennessee, Alabama and Missouri kept the good times rolling, as they look to make their case for the College Football Playoff.

With that in mind, here’s who the conference chose to honor following Week 11, for their performance and importance to the result their team enjoyed this past weekend.

• Offensive — Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama & Raheim “Rocket” Sanders, RB, South Carolina
• Defensive — Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama & Triston Newson, LB, Missouri
• Special Teams — Caden Davis, PK, Ole Miss
• Offensive Line — Tyler Booker, OL, Alabama & Torricelli Simpkins III, OG, South Carolina
• Defensive Line — Jared Ivey, DE, Ole Miss & Princely Umanmielen, DE, Ole Miss
• Freshman — LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina

First, Jalen Milroe continues to be a major thorn in LSU’s side. The Alabama quarterback accounted for 294 total yards on a rain-soaked night, including 185 rushing and 109 passing against the Tigers, leading to another huge win for the Crimson Tide. He was rightfully recognized as this week’s Offensive Player of the Week in the SEC.

Joining Milroe was Arkansas running back Rocket Sanders. He carried the football 15 times for 126 yards and two touchdowns in the Gamecocks’ 28-7 win at Vanderbilt, while also catching two passes for 52 yards and a touchdown.

On the defensive side of the football, Jihaad Campbell of Alabama and Triston Newson of Missouri were selected. Campbell led the Crimson Tide with 12 tackles, including a team-high six solo stops against the Tigers, while Newson totaled 10 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1.0 sack, & one forced fumble against Oklahoma, including a strip-sack with 22 seconds left that Missouri scooped up and scored for the game-winning TD.

Finally, LaNorris Sellers was honored as the freshman choice once again in Week 11. The South Carolina quarterback completed 14-of-20 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns in the Gamecocks’ win at Vanderbilt, adding 13 rushes for 38 yards.
