The Southeastern Conference awarded three Gators with weekly honors for their performances in Florida's 52-28 win over Ole Miss in Week 4, handing star running back Jadan Baugh the first SEC Offensive Player of the Week recognition of his career, while running back London Montgomery and left tackle Bryce Lovett were named the league's Special Teams Player of the Week and Offensive Lineman of the Week, respectively.  Baugh had previously only won the SEC's Freshman of the Week award after scoring five touchdowns against Kentucky in his first-career start during the 2024 season. Powering Florida's rushing offense during an upset win over a top-five squad, Baugh rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns over 29 carries and added one reception for 12 yards against Ole Miss on Saturday.   Baugh led all FBS players with 11 rushing first downs in Week 4, and also generated 103 yards after contact. Baugh has rushed for over 135 yards and multiple touchdowns in all four games, holding status as the only FBS player to accomplish the latter in 2026. On pace to break the program record for rushing yards and the SEC record for rushing touchdowns, Baugh leads the FBS in rushing touchdowns (11), total touchdowns (11), scoring (16.5), total points scored (66), PFF rushing grade (92.6), PFF offensive grade among running backs (88.6), missed tackles forced (34), rushing first downs (29) and PFF grade for HandsFumble (86.1). Baugh's 600 rushing yards are the most ever by a Gator through the first four games and he is the fastest Gator to 10 rushing touchdowns in a season (3.5 games). The junior halfback has recorded 486 consecutive touches and 432 straight rushes without a fumble entering Week 5. Montgomery, an offseason transfer addition from East Carolina, finished with three kick returns for 128 yards against Ole Miss while averaging 42.7 yards per return. After posting a 41-yard return in the third quarter, Montgomery ripped off a career-long return of 74 yards, representing the second-longest in the SEC this season and the longest by a Gator since Solomon Patton in 2013 at Missouri (100 yards). Montgomery's 128 kick return yards are the most in a single game by an SEC player this season, making Florida one of two FBS teams to lead its conference in both single-game kickoff return yards and punt return yards (Vernell Brown III, 173, against Campbell in Week 2. Starting at left tackle for the fourth-straight game to begin the season, Lovett delivered an 85.1 PFF pass blocking grade across 69 total snaps in Week 4. The Rockledge, Fla. product turned in a 100% block rate, as he did not surrender a single quarterback pressure or hurry. Lovett's performance paved the way for the Gators to explode for 302 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns against Ole Miss, resulting in Florida's highest rushing total against an SEC squad since facing South Carolina in 2022 (374). Lovett and the Florida offensive line concluded Week 4 with zero sacks allowed, one tackle for loss and one quarterback hurry.  Previously this season, Brown earned Co-SEC Special Teams Player of the Week for his 173 punt return yards and two touchdowns in Week 2, while Gators center Harrison Moore was named the SEC's Offensive Lineman of the Week for his performance in Florida's win over Auburn in Week 3.
