Nerlens Noel named to the SEC Community Service Team

@MrsTylerKSR

Time and time again this season, Nerlens Noel has shown us that while he's got amazing skills on the court, he's got an even bigger heart off of it. Noel has spent a good chunk of his free time this season visiting local children's hospitals and nursing homes to lift spirits and spread goodwill. How much time? According to UK, Nerlens has served more than 100 hours of community service since arriving on campus. For that, he has been named to the SEC Community Service team.

Thank you, big fella.
