It’s clear that Jaden Springer’s return to the lineup had a big impact on Tennessee basketball last week, and the rest of the SEC is beginning to take notice. As a result, he was recognized on Monday for the value he provided.
The 6’4″ 204-pound guard was named the SEC Freshman of the Week for his efforts in leading the Vols to wins over the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Kansas Jayhawks last week.
