SEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
ALI HIGHSMITH
Linebacker
LSU
6-1 • 225 • Sophomore
Miami, Fla. (Central HS)

Highsmith led LSU with a career-best nine total tackles (6 solos), four stops behind the line of scrimmage (-18 yards), including two sacks (-15 yards) in the Tigers' 21-17 win against Florida.
Highsmith led a Tiger defense that limited Florida to a season-low 206 total yards, including just 107 through the air.
His four TFL were a career-high and helped pace an LSU defense that sacked Florida QB Chris Leak five times.
Highsmith also tallied three quarterback pressures in the contest.


Congrats to Ali Highsmith who has helped solidify the Tigers linebacker corps and make this defense ONE OF THE BEST IN THE NATION.
