The thing about playing in the 2:30 CBS game is if you ball out the whole college football world sees it. That’s exactly what happened as Jayden Daniels, Harold Perkins, and Mekhi Wingo were all recognized by the SEC as players of the week.
Daniels was named the league’s offensive player of the week, Perkins was the freshman of the week, and Wingo was the defensive lineman of the week.
Daniels had a strong case to be last week’s offensive player of the week thanks to his six-touchdown effort against Florida, but Tennessee’s Jalin Hyatt went nuclear in Tennessee’s win over Alabama with six catches for 207 yards and a cool five touchdowns.
