STARKVILLE, Miss. - The Southeastern Conference office announced Friday that Mississippi State senior tennis player Louis Cant has been nominated for the SEC's H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Post-Graduate Scholarship.
Cant was nominated along with former MSU soccer player Kim Pettit. Other scholarship nominations were baseball's Caleb Reed and softball's Misty Flesher as prospects for the league's Brad Davis Community Service Post-Graduate Scholarship.
