UC junior linebacker Bryan Wright (New Castle, Delaware/Jireh Prep) was named the American Athletic Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Week Monday, the league office announced.
From the UC press release:
Wright, playing his first game at middle linebacker after switching from defensive end in the offseason, had four tackles, including two sacks and three tackles for loss, and had a pivotal forced fumble in the fourth quarter that resulted in the go-ahead safety as the Bearcats took a 26-17 win at UCLA. He shared the weekly accolade with Houston DT Ed Oliver.
RB Michael Warren II (Toledo, Ohio/Central Catholic) earned a spot on the league’s weekly honor roll.
