Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell was named SEC Freshman of the Week on Monday.

Treadwell, a true freshman from Crete, Ill., caught nine passes for 82 yards, plus a two-point conversion, in the Rebels' 39-35 victory at Vanderbilt last Thursday. His nine catches are an Ole Miss freshman record, and the most by a Rebel since Mike Espy also had nine against Auburn in 2005.

Other SEC award winners for week 1 were Georgia running back Todd Gurley (Offense), Auburn cornerback Robensen Therezie (defense), Alabama kick returner Christion Jones (special teams), Arkansas end Trey Flowers (defensive lineman) and LSU tackle La'el Collins (offensive lineman).
