Mississippi was well-represented on the latest SEC players of the week list. A Magnolia State native who took his talents one state over and a North Carolina transplant competing for one of Mississippi’s universities were recognized by the conference for their efforts this past weekend.
Alabama’s Bray Hubbard, an Ocean Springs native, was highlighted as the SEC’s co-defensive player of the week after logging five tackles and two interceptions in the Crimson Tide’s 38-14 win over Wisconsin. In coverage, the defensive back allowed just one catch on five targets, earning a 92.0 overall grade from Pro Football Focus. Hubbard was also a major contributor to a defense that only allowed one offensive score and 209 yards of total offense. He shared the weekly honor with LSU’s Dashawn Spears.

No. 14 Alabama (2-1) will have the upcoming weekend off in preparation for a Saturday, Sept. 27, battle against a No. 5 Georgia team that led a thrilling comeback against top-15 Tennessee on Saturday.
In Oxford, Ole Miss left tackle Diego Pounds earned the SEC’s co-offensive lineman of the week honor due to his efforts in helping backup quarterback Trinidad Chambliss lead the No. 13 Rebels (3-0, 2-0 SEC) to a nail-biting 41-35 win over Arkansas. Pounds was in on all 75 snaps in the contest, playing arguably the most crucial role up front. Chambliss was sacked just once in the game, and the offense totaled 475 yards. Pounds shared the recognition with Vanderbilt’s Jordan White.
