Wednesday Headlines: Maxwell Hairston awards and preparing for Florida

Good morning BBN!

Kentucky Wildcats cornerback Maxwell Hairston has been the talk of the town this week.

It began Monday when Hairston was awarded the SEC Defensive Player of the Week title following his standout game against the Vanderbilt Commodores. That was expected, given that the sophomore from Michigan secured two pick-sixes against the Commodores.

On Tuesday, Hairston earned two more major honors. First, he was named the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week.

A short time later, it was announced that Hairston won the Jim Thorpe National Defensive Back of the Week award.
