University of Florida senior defensive tackle Jaye Howard (Apopka, Fla.) has been named the SEC Co-defensive lineman of the Week, the Conference office announced today. The honor is the first of Howard's career.
Howard was part of a defensive front that dominated the line of scrimmage against FAU holding the Owls to 137 yards of total offense and a mere 30 yards rushing on 30 attempts (1.0 avg). Howard finished the contest with four tackles, good for second on the team, and a sack.
