Gamecocks Wideout Jeffery - SEC Freshman of the Week

Just as LOHD predicted he would, the gamecocks wide receiver was today recognized as the top freshman for this past week by the SEC- HERE - this is what they wrote.....

Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina
6-3 • 217
St. Matthews, S.C. (Calhoun County HS)

• Jeffery caught seven passes for 138 yards and three touchdowns in South Carolina’s 28-26 win over Kentucky.

• He scored from 10, 28 and 22 yards out on passes from Stephen Garcia.

• The three touchdown receptions tied for the second-best single game performance in school history.

• Jeffery came into the game with just five catches for 61 yards through the first five games before his breakout performance on Saturday.


---Also Gamecocks QB Stephen Garcia was recognized for a "outstanding performance" by the SEC in Week 6 for connecting on 16-of-23 passes for 233 yards with three TDs and an interception against Kentucky.

Great Job and Go Cocks!

Get use to hearing this name - Alshon Jeffery

Alshon Jeffery wears number 1 and what could be for good reason. 

The Calhoun County native who turned down the "other USC" to come be a gamecock football player, finished with seven catches for 138 yards and three scores. The freshman had five catches for 61 yards in the season's first five games.

This quote sums it up....."Those Southern Cal boys don't come to South Carolina for no average receiver," Spurrier said later, relaying GA Mangus' message that was voiced after a TD in the coach's headsets. "The kid can play. It took us six games to figure out he could really play. Alshon was something else in there."

LOHD is on the record that Alshon will be the SEC Freshman of the Week come Monday.
