Nate Ament of the Tennessee Volunteers has earned the title of SEC Player of the Week, marking him as only the fourth freshman from the team to achieve this honor. This accolade follows a stellar performance on Saturday, where Ament delivered a career-high of 29 points, spearheading Tennessee’s 79-73 victory against Alabama in Tuscaloosa. His outstanding contribution not only led all scorers but also placed him among a select group of first-year players who have made significant impacts early in their college basketball careers. This recognition was officially announced on Monday, further cementing Ament’s rising status in the league.
