Spaight — a native of North Little Rock, Ark. — recorded 10 tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss and forced a fumble in Saturday night’s win. Spaight stripped LSU quarterback Anthony Jennings midway through the fourth quarter to preserve the win for the Razorbacks.
Skipper led an offensive line that allowed just one sack on the evening. He played 62 snaps, and led all offensive linemen with seven knockdowns.
The accolades mark the first time either Spaight or Skipper have earned All-SEC honors.
