Utah State safety Aaron Wade and placekicker Dominik Eberle were named the Mountain West Defensive and Special Teams Player of the Week, respectively, it was announced Monday by the league office.
It is the first time in both of their careers that Wade and Eberle have earned conference player of the week accolades. Overall, these are the Aggies’ 17th and 18th MW weekly accolades in their sixth season in the league.
Wade recorded the first two interceptions of his career, the second of which led to a fourth-quarter field goal, in Utah State’s dominating 60-13 victory over New Mexico State last Saturday night on Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium.
