University of Florida rookie infielder Brendan Lawson was named SEC Freshman of the Week, the conference announced on Monday afternoon.
The Gators have produced SEC weekly award winners in back-to-back weeks to open the season, as catcher/designated hitter Brody Donay was named Player of the Week last Monday. For Lawson, his first-career SEC accolade was shared alongside Auburn’s Bub Terrell.
Helping lead Florida to a 4-0 record and series sweep of Dayton, Lawson drove in a team-high nine runs last week while producing hits and RBI in all four games. Starting every contest at first base, the Toronto, Ontario native went 6-for-15 (.
