BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – LSU libero Kiley Brooks has been named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, earning her first career SEC accolade, the league office announced Monday.
Brooks is LSU’s first SEC Freshman of the Week since 2023, when outside hitter Jurnee Robinson earned the honor, and the program’s first defensive specialist to receive the award since Ella Larkin won it twice in 2021. Brooks shares this week’s honor with Tennessee middle blocker Jolene Oddo.
