Two Tennessee football players earned SEC and national weekly honors after Week 10.

Seniors Arion Carter and Qua Moss earned weekly awards following their performances in the Vols', 34-6, victory over Kentucky on Nov. 7, at Neyland Stadium.

Carter, a linebacker, was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week, while Moss, a defensive back, was named as the Shriners Children's East-West Bowl Defensive Player of the Week.

Carter totaled with a game-high and season-best 13 tackles against the Wildcats. He also set career highs with four tackles for a loss and two sacks. Carter, a Butkus Award semifinalist and Campbell Trophy finalist, became the fifth FBS player in the last 11-plus seasons to record 13 tackles, four tackles for a loss and two sacks. The last was Indiana's T.J. Simmons, who accomplished the feat against Michigan State on Oct. 24, 2015.

Moss recorded a career-high nine tackles against Kentucky. He also had two forced fumbles, one sack, one quarterback hurry and one pass breakup. The two forced fumbles were the first of his career with the Vols, and the second and third of his collegiate career.

Moss became the fourth Tennessee player since 2019 to force two fumbles in a game. He was the first Vol to accomplish the feat since Edrees Farooq against Oklahoma on Nov. 1, 2025.
