BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeast Conference announced their weekly honors for games played on Saturday, Nov. 16, as
Jonathan Greenard was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week for his performance in the Gators' 23-6 win over Missouri on Saturday. The nod marks Greenard's second consecutive SEC Defensive Player of the Week selection, while he was also named the
Walter Camp National FBS Defensive Player of the Week on Sunday.
Greenard posted a team-high six tackles, including five tackles for a loss of 23 yards, and two sacks for a loss of 12 yards in Saturday's win over the Tigers to conclude the SEC slate. Greenard's five tackles for loss marked the most by a Gator in a game since 2000. The Hiram, Ga. native also added one quarterback hurry in the victory, as he led a Gators' defensive unit that held Missouri to just 256 total yards of offense. Additionally, the Gators' defense has held opposing teams from the end zone for two consecutive games now.
The No. 10 Florida Gators return back to action next Saturday, Nov. 30, when they host Florida State at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff to be televised on the SEC Network.
