Linebacker Bryce Norman was named the Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced Sunday. A native of nearby Jackson, Missouri, Norman posted a career-high 17 tackles in Southeast Missouri Football's latest 42-16 drubbing of Nicholls on Sept. 17. He registered five solo stops and assisted on 12 others en route to the third double-digit tackle game of his career. Norman led a Redhawk defense that forced one turnover and limited the Colonels to only 50 rushing yards.
