BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Stefano D’Agostino stepped up big in Ole Miss’s 4-3 win against No. 11 Vanderbilt this past weekend and was selected as the SEC Freshman of the Week on Wednesday afternoon.
It is D’Agostino’s first individual collegiate honor and the first conference weekly award for the Rebels this season.
