The Southeastern Conference announced Monday that Ole Miss defensive back Trey Washington is its defensive player of the week after a dominant showing against Georgia Tech.
Washington tallied 10 total tackles, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble in the 48-23 Rebels win over the Yellow Jackets. The 5’11” 205 lbs. junior out of Trussville, Ala. leads the entire team in tackles with 20 for the season and is ranked 13th in the conference with more than six tackles per game on average.
His play has flown under the radar up until this point for many fans as Washington paid his dues in his freshman season in reserve duty and on special teams but played all 13 games.
