West Alabama defensive end Ridge Wilson (SR, 6-4, 256, Louisville, KY).
Wilson earns his first-ever award and he is the third different UWA defender to win laurels this season. The senior spearheaded the Tigers’ defense in a 37-7 win at Delta State, clinching at least a share of the GSC Title. The Louisville, KY native led the squad with 11 total tackles, behind seven solo stops, while also racking up 2.5 tackles for a loss of 12 yards and one sack for six yards.
