NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Vanderbilt linebacker Bryan Longwell has been named the Lott IMPACT Trophy Player of the Week for his performance in Vandy's win over top-ranked Alabama.
Longwell led the Commodores with eight tackles in the victory. He added a tackle for loss against the Tide, his fifth-straight game with a stop behind the line of scrimmage. This season, Longwell has led the team in tackles in both Southeastern Conference games.
The Nashville native anchored a defense that held Alabama under 100 yards in rushing and to a season-low point total.
Longwell was also named the Tennessee Sports Writers Association's Defensive Player of the Week for his contributions to the historic win.
The Commodores return to action Saturday at Kentucky. Kickoff is set for 6:45 p.m. CT on SEC Network and 94.9 The Fan.
