Jalen Milroe, Ryan Williams receive SEC Players of the Week honors
Alabama’s Jalen Milroe was named the Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week, with Ryan Williams earning Freshman of the Week honors, the league office announced Monday morning.
Milroe earned the recognition after his significant performance on the national stage against then-No. 2/1 Georgia on Saturday. The honor is the second in as many games for Milroe, with the redshirt junior quarterback picking up SEC Offensive Player of the Week recognition following the Tide’s 42-10 win at Wisconsin on Sept. 14. The league honor is the fifth of Milroe’s collegiate career.
Williams was dubbed SEC Freshman of the Week for the second time this season, as Alabama has now received six weekly honors through four games.
