Kentucky basketball’s Isaiah Jackson has been named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week after his impressive performances have propelled the Wildcats on a three-game win streak.
The honor is the first for the 6-foot-10 forward from Pontiac, Michigan
In wins over Vanderbilt and No. 19 Tennesse, Jackson averaged 15.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and two blocks per game.
Against the Commodores, he pumped in 15 points and narrowly missed on a double-double with nine rebounds in the 82-78 win playing just 20 minutes. From the field, he was a perfect 5 for 5 shooting and 5 of 6 from the foul line.
