The Davey O'Brien Foundation on Wednesday announced University of Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder was selected the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback of the Week.
It was the latest of a laundry list of accolades for the 6-foot-4, 215-pound junior following his career night in the No. 7 Bearcats' 42-13 win last Saturday at then-No. 16 Southern Methodist University.
Ridder also was named the Walter Camp Offensive Player of the Week and the American Athletic Conference (AAC) Offensive Player of the Week after running for a career-high 179 yards and three touchdowns and completing 13 of 21 passes for 126 yards and a 7-yard touchdown pass to tight end Josh Whyle.
