GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Linebacker Vosean Joseph earned the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week honors, as the Walter Camp Football Foundation announced on Sunday.
The weekly honor is the first of Joseph's career at Florida and comes after a team-leading defensive performance to help the Gators upset No. 5 LSU, 27-19 in Gainesville on Saturday.
The Miami native recorded a team-high 14 tackles, including 3.5 for losses. He also sacked LSU's Joe Burrow twice for a loss of 14 yards.
Through six games, Joseph is the Gators' leading tackler with 42, including 6.5 for losses. He has also recorded three sacks, two pass breakups, one quarterback hurry and a fumble recovery, which he returned for 20 yards.
Joseph is the eighth Florida player to earn Walter Camp National Player of the Week honors since 2004 and is the first since linebacker Antonio Morrison (Oct. 4, 2015).
