Davison notches the second weekly honor of his rookie campaign
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Following the Crimson Tide's back-to-back conference victories over Ole Miss and Arkansas this past week, Alabama freshman JD Davison was named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
Davison averaged 14.5 points, seven rebounds and six assists across both matchups. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound freshman from Letohatchee, Ala., came off the bench at Ole Miss and contributed 18 points and a game-leading eight assists, shooting 7-of-8 from the field. He followed up that performance by leading the Tide in scoring with 11 and recording four rebounds and four assists in Alabama's win over Arkansas on Saturday.
The honor is the second for Davison, after first receiving SEC Freshman of the Week accolades earlier this season following his 20-point performance in the Tide's upset over then-No.3/3 Gonzaga on Dec. 4, 2021.
