Harrell wins his second straight SEC lineman of the week award.
Way to go BigDawg! :dance2:
Tennessee junior Justin Harrell was named SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week for his efforts in Saturday's 17-10 win over UAB. The award was the second in as many games for the defensive tackle from Martin.
UAB faced third-and-goal at Tennessee's 3-yard line when the 6-foot-4, 306-pounder made what turned out to be a game-saving interception. He snatched a Blazers pass attempt over the middle and returned it 29 yards late in the third quarter.
Harrell, who added four tackles and helped limit UAB to 53 yards rushing for the game, finished last season with a flurry as well. He was named defensive MVP of the Cotton Bowl for his play in Tennessee's 38-7 win over Texas A&M.
Other first-week award winners by the SEC were: Georgia's D.J. Shockley (offense), Mississippi's Patrick Willis (defense), Florida's Chris Hetland (special teams), Vanderbilt's Brian Stamper (offensive line) and Arkansas' Felix Jones (freshman).
