Sam Scofield Named National Def. Player of the Week

Shortly after capturing the Conference USA Player of the Week honors for Defense, Tulane Safety Sam Scofield picked up another piece of hardware.

By national selection, Scofield was chosen as the Football Writers Association of America's top defensive player across all of college football.

Scofield recorded 18 tackles in last weekend's matchup against the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes. Not a typo. 18. Scofield was everywhere. He also contributed to the Tulane turnover margin with a nice forced fumble.

Congrats to Scofield and the Green Wave squad, once again.
