The Southeastern Conference named Mississippi State forward Jarvis Varnado as SEC Men's Basketball Player of the Week.  The junior is deserving of the award after becoming Mississippi State's all-time leading shot blocker last week. 

The Brownsville, Tenn., native averaged 10.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 8 blocks in games last week against Louisiana-Monroe, North Alabama, and Fairleigh Dickinson.  Before Varnado's honor, former teammate Charles Rhodes was the last Bulldog to be named Player of the Week (March 3, 2008). 

On the season, Varnado leads all college basketball players with 31 blocked shots.
