After a dominant weekend sweep of Vanderbilt, a number of LSU players could have earned award recognition but it was sophomore Brayden Jobert who took home the hardware after being named SEC Player of the Week. Jobert went 8-for-16 last week over four games with seven of those hits going for extra bases, including five home runs. In Sunday’s win over the Commodores, he tied the LSU single-game record with nine RBI and ranks second on the Tigers in both homers and runs batted in.

Not to be outdone, Dylan Crews was named SEC Co-Player of the Year, sharing the honor with Auburn’s Sonny DiChiara. Crews is batting .345 with 21 homers, 67 RBI, and 63 runs scored this season, and becomes the first LSU player to earn the honor since Raph Rhymes a decade ago.

It’s no surprise that Crews was also named to the All-SEC First Team, with Jacob Berry earning a second-team nod, and first baseman Tre Morgan was selected to the All-Defense team.
