After their performances against Ball State, Barion Brown and Trevin Wallace both earned honors from the SEC.

Brown was named SEC Special Teams Player of the Week, and Wallace was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week. 

Wallace had twelve tackles in this game, with six of them being solo tackles. He also had a half-sack and two tackles for loss. 

Brown had a 99-yard kickoff return touchdown on special teams and three catches for 39 yards. 

Wallace and Brown will both be critical players for the success of this Kentucky football team. 

I think when the season comes to an end, both of these players will be on the All-SEC teams thanks to the numbers they will put up this year. 

These two are some of the best players in college football and have bright futures ahead, likely playing on Sundays.

Congrats to both Wallace and Brown for receiving these honors, and I feel safe saying this won't be the last time they are recognized by the SEC this season.
