1. A.J. Jefferson was named Defensive Lineman of the Week in the SEC for his performance vs. South Carolina. In the game he had two tackles for loss and a sack. Through just two games this year he has an impressive stat line: 12 tackles, six tackles for loss, three sacks and two quarterback hurries.
2. Nick Weatherspoon committed to Mississippi State basketball. He is Quinndary Weatherspoon’s younger brother, and considered the best player in Mississippi. He is a four or five star point guard depending on who you look at, at 6′-2″ 175 lbs. Most experts believe this sets up Ben Howland to have a big time 2018 season with the elder Weatherspoon leading the way as a junior, the top 10 recruiting class of 2016 as sophomores and the younger Weatherspoon as a freshman.
