LSU’s Grace Knox was named SEC Freshman of the Week Tuesday for her performances in wins over Morgan State and Texas-Arlington, the league office announced on Tuesday.
Knox, a Las Vegas, Nevada native, paced LSU by averaging 17.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in the two games. The 6-foot-2 forward scored a career-high 25 points with a career-high 12 rebounds against UT Arlington on Sunday.
Her 25 points was also the highest point total by any Tiger so far this season for No. 5 LSU (13-0). She has reached double figures in 11 of 13 games played.
Knox is the first LSU freshman to garner this honor since junior Mikaylah Williams earned three in the 2023-24 season.
LSU will return to action on Sunday against Alabama State at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center (3 p.m., SEC Network).
