In three of his last four games, senior linebacker Danny Trevathan has tallied 17 tackles. Coming down the stretch of his final collegiate season, Trevathan has taken his already stellar play to another level, but he hasn’t received the kind of recognition at the national of conference level you would expect.Even though it came in a loss, Trevathan could not be denied following yet another dominant effort against Georgia, winning SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Week honors.Trevathan tallied 17 total tackles, three of which came behind the line of scrimmage. He had a sack and two forced fumbles, making plays all over the field and his presence felt to the unfortunate Bulldogs on the receiving end of his hits.His big Saturday moved him into third nationally in total tackles with 135 and he remained atop the SEC in the category. He also has five forced fumbles, four interceptions and three sacks in one of the best defensive seasons in school history.
