Alabama free safety Rashad Johnson has been named the Football Writers Association of America/Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week for games of the weekend of Nov. 8.
Rashad Johnson
, a 6-0, 186-pound senior from Sulligent, tied an
Alabama
record with three interceptions in the Crimson Tide's 27-21 overtime victory at
LSU
. He returned one of the interceptions 54 yards for a touchdown and his third interception helped seal the win in overtime. Johnson also recorded four tackles, including a half sack for number one ranked Bama.
Johnson is already on the 2008 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List. The Bronko Nagurski Trophy will be presented to the best defensive player in college football on Dec. 7 by the FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club at the Westin Hotel in Charlotte, N.C. Five finalists for the Nagurski Trophy will be announced next week.
Each week during the 2008 season the FWAA All-America Committee has selected a national defensive player of the week from nominations made by the 11 Division I Bowl Subdivision Conferences and major independents. This is the final week that a player of the week will be selected this season.
Last season, LSU tackle
Glenn Dorsey
won the coveted Bronko Nagurski Trophy during the 13th season the FWAA has named a national defensive player of the year.
