Arkansas freshman guard Darius Acuff Jr. keeps stacking SEC history like it’s part of the syllabus.
Five straight SEC Freshman of the Week honors will do that.
No player in league history has ever accomplished the feat, a milestone that would normally trigger celebration, social media buzz, and plenty of self-congratulation. But if you’re looking for Acuff to pause and soak it all in, you’re looking in the wrong place.
He’s all business.
"“I just want to keep going,” Acuff said. “Hopefully get more wins.”"
That simple refrain captures the mindset of a freshman who has already established himself not just as one of the SEC’s most productive young players, but as one of its most mature.
