After Jordan Watkins' and Jaxson Dart's big game at Arkansas, the pair earned more national awards on Tuesday.
On Saturday, Dart went 25-for-31 through the air for 515 yards and six touchdowns. Watkins caught five of those scores alongside eight total catches and 254 yards. The two formed a lethal dynamic duo against the Razorback secondary.
With Tre Harris absent from last week's contest, these honors serve as a tremendous confidence booster for the Rebel offense. With Harris missing, Watkins has more than stepped up to compensate in his absence. Another standout performance will be crucial for the Rebels to keep their playoff hopes alive by beating No. 3 Georgia this weekend.
While Watkins' had 254 of Dart's passing yardage, Dart added an additional 261 yards among five different recievers.
