Texas A&M sophomore guard Wade Taylor IV has been named the SEC Player of the Week on Monday afternoon, after leading the Aggies statically in last week’s victories against Arkansas and Missouri. Taylor Joins starting forward Julius Marble as the second Aggie to receive the Honor this season.
The Dallas, Texas native started the week off scoring 18 points and going 3-5 from 3-point land against the Razorbacks, while 16 points in the second half. Keeping his scoring momentum alive just four days later on road against the Tigers, Taylor once again led the Aggies with 21 points and went 3-5 from the 3-point line, and a perfect 10-10 from the charity stripe.
