Two members of the South Carolina football team were recognized by the SEC on Monday.

Junior Cornerback Jaycee Horn and freshman punter Kai Kroeger were both honored by the SEC on Monday afternoon as top performers over the weekend. South Carolina defeated No. 15 Auburn by a score of 30-22 on Saturday, earning their second straight win.

Horn was the SEC’s co-defensive player of the week, sharing the honor with Arkansas linebacker Grant Morgan. The corner recorded two interceptions on the day, the first two of his career, and locked down Auburn’s top target in wideout Seth Williams.
