MEMPHIS — Following a 10-7 win at Navy last Saturday, Memphis has been awarded two of the three American Athletic Conference Player of the Week awards.
Sophomore safety Quindell Johnson was named the AAC Defensive Player of the Week after recording 12 tackles, his second-highest mark of the season. He also came up with one of the game's biggest plays when he grabbed his first interception of the season and third of his career to stop a threatening Navy drive late in the first half.
Johnson and the Memphis defense held Navy to its lowest point total in a home conference game since the Midshipmen joined the league in 2015.
