Out of all the freshmen in the country, three players in the SEC made the top 10 of freshman in grades by Pro Football Focus, which measures talent in college and particularly the NFL Draft.
Arkansas running back Chase Hayden was named the SEC Freshman of the Week after he rushed 14 times for 120 yards with a touchdown as the Razorbacks beat Florida A&M 49-7 at War Memorial Stadium a week ago.
LSU’s Ed Ingram made a consistent rotation at offensive guard in the Tigers’ 27-0 victory over BYU on Saturday.
Tennessee guard Trey Smith, who’s expected to eventually move to tackle, also made an impression with a punishing block in the double overtime victory over Georgia Tech.
