Florida's Banks, Crawshaw and Thornton earn SEC weekly honors
A trio of Florida Gators have earned SEC Weekly Honors for their performances in UF’s 24-17 victory over Ole Miss, the conference announced Monday.
It marks the second-straight week Florida has earned three SEC Weekly Honors, which is the first time in school history they’ve had three in back-to-back weeks.
Those Gators are Bryce Thornton (Co-Defensive Player of the Week), Caleb Banks (Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week) and Jeremy Crawshaw (Special Teams Player of the Week).
Thornton racked up 14 tackles, a career high, and led the Florida Gators in that category. Most importantly though, he recorded interceptions on Ole Miss’ final two drives of the game to close out the game.
As for Banks, he logged four tackles for loss, including two and a half sacks. He also added a pass breakup and quarterback hurry. The Louisville transfer has been disruptive in recent weeks and is garnering the attention of NFL scouts down the stretch.
