Gator sophomore kick returner Brandon James has been named the Southeastern Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday.

James garnered 193 all-purpose yards, including 159 on returns, in
Florida's 59-20 win over Tennessee. He opened the scoring against the Vols with a career-long 83-yard punt return for a touchdown on his first touch of the game. It was his second career punt return for a touchdown, and tied for the fifth longest in Gator history. James also returned four kickoffs for a 25.5 yard average and had three punt returns for a 30.3 yard average. He leads the nation in punt return average (30.8) for the season.

Florida will travel to face Ole Miss this weekend. The game will kick off at 12:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast by Lincoln Financial Sports.
