Jihaad Campbell named Bronko Nagurski Award player of the week
Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell was selected as the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday after his efforts against Tennessee over the weekend.
Campbell, a sophomore from Erial, N.J., exploded for a career-high 10 tackles in the Crimson Tide’s come-from-behind 34-20 win over No. 15 Tennessee. He picked up a Joe Milton III fumble and raced 24 yards to give Alabama a two-score lead and ice the game.
Campbell added a tackle for loss (-4 yards) with six solo stops. Played a key role in shutting out Tennessee in the second half and just 129 second-half yards and just 33 rushing.
