- Ole Miss defensive end Marquis Haynes (38) celebrates after sacking Vanderbilt Commodores quarterback Kyle Shurmur (14) at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss. on Saturday, October 14, 2017. Haynes was named SEC Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week after becoming Ole MissÕ modern-era leader in both sacks and tackles for loss. The defensive end from Jacksonville, Florida posted career highs of 3.5 TFLs and 3.0 sacks, as well as forcing two fumbles.
A pair of Ole Miss players have been recognized for their play over the weekend.
Quarterback Shea Patterson was named Southeastern Conference co-Offensive Player of the Week while defensive end Marquis Haynes earned co-Defensive Player of the Week honors. The league announced its weekly awards Monday.
Patterson, who shared the honor with LSU receiver D.J. Chark, completed 22 of his 35 passes for 351 yards and accounted for five touchdowns in the Rebels’ 57-35 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday. Patterson is the SEC’s top passer with 2,143 yards and 17 touchdowns against six interceptions this season.
Haynes broke out with his best game of the season against the Commodores, tallying a career-high three sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss. The senior, who had just 1.5 sacks through the first five games, now owns the school’s modern-day career sack record with 29.
Ole Miss will return to action Saturday against LSU at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
