New Hampshire junior safety Evan Horn has been selected as the STATS FCS National Defensive Player of the Week.

Horn recorded a career-high 11 tackles, 2.0 TFL’s, 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble as New Hampshire defeated Maine, 28-10, last Saturday. The junior safety’s forced fumble at the UNH 35-yard line ended a Maine drive in the third quarter and he also helped down a punt at the 1-yard line on special teams. Horn led a Wildcats’ defense that held Maine to season-lows in total yards (313) and points (10).

It was the seventh time this season that CAA Football has received a National Player of the Week award from STATS.
