UT's Jackson wins SEC football honor
Member Center:
KNOXVILLE (AP) -- Tennessee safety Janzen Jackson has been named the Southeastern Conference's freshman of the week.
The 6-foot, 180-pound Lake Charles, La., native had a season high seven tackles during the Volunteers' 31-13 win over South Carolina on Saturday. He also forced a fumble on the third play from scrimmage and broke up two passes.
Coach Lane Kiffin says Jackson has already proven to be a great player in his ability to cover the field on defense and special teams.
Jackson has started seven of eight games this season and stands as the leading freshman and is sixth on the team with 33 tackles. He's tied for third in special teams tackles with five.
The Vols (4-4, 2-3) host Memphis for homecoming on Saturday.
