Mathieu named Defensive Player of the Week
For the second week in a row, a member of the LSU secondary has been named the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week, as sophomore cornerback Tyrann Mathieu’s six tackles, forced fumble and interception earned him this week’s honors.
Mathieu’s performance in the Tigers 47-21 victory also earned him a spot in the record books, as he tied former Tiger linebacker Ali Highsmith’s career mark of seven forced fumbles just 17 games into his collegiate career.
Mathieu, who leads all Tigers with 30 tackles, has now been honored in two of the first four weeks after he was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week in week one.
