Week 10 of the college football season saw Utah senior linebacker Gionni Paul (Kathleen alum) walk away with a few National Player of the Week honors.

The Walter Camp Football Foundation and Athlon Sports named Gionni Paul the National FBS Defensive Player of the Week for his performance on Saturday against Washington.

Paul recorded nine tackles (two for a loss), two quarterback sacks, one interception and recovered a fumble and returned it 54 yards for a touchdown to help 12th ranked Utah defeat Washington, 34-23.

Paul joins two other Utah players (DB Eric Weddle, Sept. 24, 2006 and DE Derrick Shelby, Oct. 16, 2011) to earn Walter Camp National Player of the Week honors since 2004.

Athlon Sports considered Paul one of the 15 Best College Football Players No One is Talking About in 2015 prior to Week 10. Paul’s play on Saturday and throughout the season (team leading 84 tackles and 12.0 tackles for a loss) is at least not going unnoticed by one national outlet.
