Florida’s Andrew Nembhard and Vanderbilt’s Aaron Nesmith are this week’s SEC Co-Freshmen of the Week.

The Gators’ freshman averaged 15 points, 2.5 boards, and 1.5 assists in the wins over Vanderbilt and Alabama. Nembhard shot an impressive 92.8 percent from the field making 13 of 14 buckets last week.

During the game against Alabama, the freshman shot a perfect 9-of-9 from the field. According to Florida’s website, It was the first time since 1996-97 that a Gator was perfect from the floor with nine or more makes.

He scored nine points in sixteen minutes against the Commodores after he got into foul trouble early.
