Freshman Derrick Tucker was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week.
After his stellar performance against Ole Miss, true freshman defensive back Derrick Tucker was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week.
Tucker had a career game against the Rebels, including a 19-yard interception returned for a touchdown in the second half of the game, which gave A&M its first lead of the game. Tucker also had 14 tackles, a forced fumble and two pass breakups.
With the honor, Tucker becomes the Aggie to be named DPOW this season and the fourth to earn this honor since A&M joined the SEC in 2012.
