Florida closed the weekend with at least a share of the SEC regular season title, and Logan King was at the center of it. The SEC’s Week 11 honors also recognize a career night from LSU’s Jurnee Robinson, two setters who ran their offenses to huge hitting numbers, and two freshmen who made an immediate impact.
