UCF middle linebacker Terrance Plummer’s career-defining performance in Thursday’s 31-24 victory over BYU earned him national honors this week.
Plummer was named the National Defensive Player of the Week presented by Generation UCAN by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. It was the first time a UCF player has ever received a national weekly award from the foundation.
Plummer was unstoppable in Thursday night’s ESPN-televised win, recording a career-best 17 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and recovered his own forced-fumble.
On the year Plummer has 53 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss, leading the Knights in both categories.
UCF will be back in action on Saturday for the start of home conference play against Tulane. Kickoff is set for noon.
