MEMPHIS, Tennessee – Senior defensive end Bryce Huff (Mobile, Ala./St. Paul's Episcopal) was named the American Athletic Conference's Defensive Player of the Week it was announced Monday. It is the first weekly honor of his career for Huff, who was second team all-conference last year.
With Memphis up 13-10 against Ole Miss, Huff took advantage of a special team's play that found the Rebels backed up on their own one-yard line. Huff recorded his first sack of the season in the endzone, pushing the Memphis lead to 15-10 and getting the Tigers the ball back with a little over six minutes to play in the fourth quarter.
