West Alabama defensive back Malcolm Butler (JR, 5-11, 180, Vicksburg, MS).
Butler is UWA’s second straight Defensive honoree after duplicating last week’s winner, Otha Foster, by nabbing three interceptions in a 24-20 home victory over West Georgia. The junior tied the school-record for interceptions in a game and he also became just the 10th GSC player to accomplish the feat. The Vicksburg, MS native did not stop there, racking up five solo tackles and breaking up three more passes, headlined by a break up on fourth down which sealed the win at 1:04 in the fourth quarter.
