Watts Named GNAC Defensive Player of the Week

October 8, 2018

Sophomore linebacker Demetrick Watts was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week Monday.

Watts was a defensive standout in the Lumberjacks' 23-16 win over Simon Fraser. The Riverside, Calif., native finished with eight tackles, one tackle for loss, a sack and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Watts recovered a fumble at the goal line for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown in the third quarter.

"Demetrick Watts played hard, like always," said HSU Head Coach Damaro Wheeler. "He played fast and physical. He had an opportunity, with his effort, to score a touchdown."

HSU next travels to face UT Permian Basin on Saturday, Oct. 13. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. PT.
