University of Florida defensive
back Vernon Hargreaves, III earned the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the
Week honor for his performance in the 24-7 win at Kentucky, the league office
announced Monday.
Hargreaves made his
third interception of the season, the most by an SEC freshman and the
third-most nationally among freshmen. He intercepted the pass in the end zone
from Kentucky’s Maxwell Smith to rob the Wildcats of a third-quarter touchdown.
Hargreaves currently leads the Gators in interceptions.
Next up, Florida (3-1,
2-0 SEC) returns to The Swamp to host Arkansas (3-2, 0-2 SEC) on Oct. 5 at 7:00
p.m. The game will be televised on ESPN2.
