North Alabama linebacker Tavarius Wilson (SR, 5-11, 235, Jackson, MS).
Wilson claims his third career laurel, second of the season, spearheading UNA’s defense in a 57-7 road triumph over No. 11 Valdosta State. The senior led all tacklers with 11 total stops, including a game-high eight solo tackles. The Jackson, MS native also forced a fumble and blocked VSU’s 44-yard field goal attempt with 1:44 left in the first half.
