The Walter Camp Football Foundation announced its Football Bowl Subdivision National Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week and MTSU's Zaylin Wood was tabbed the Defensive Player of the Week.
Recipients are selected by a panel of national media members and administered by the Walter Camp Foundation.
Wood played a major role in the Blue Raiders' upset win at No. 25 Miami to lead a defensive unit that wreaked havoc on the Hurricanes all day. The redshirt sophomore turned in a career-best 2.0 sacks to go with 2.0 TFLs, a fumble recovery and his second career interception that he returned 15 yards for a touchdown.
Wood is just the third player in school history to win the Walter Camp National Player of the Week award and the first since Nov. 23, 2008 when running back Phillip Tanner grabbed the honor. The other winner was free safety Damon Nickson in 2006.
