LSU linebacker Devin White named national player of the week

LSU linebacker Devin White was already named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week for his 15-tackle performance against then-No. 10 Auburn but the sophomore added another award to his resume on Tuesday.

White, who also had two tackles for a loss, one sack and one quarterback hurry, was named the Chuck Bednarik National Player of the Week by the Maxwell Football Club.

The Bednarik National Player of the Week is voted on by members of the Maxwell Football Club National Selection Committee and recognizes a player for outstanding defensive play.

White leads the SEC in tackles this season with 77 and is tied for third nationally in total tackles.
