Penn State Football Linebacker Amare Campbell Named Walter Camp National Defensive Player Of The Week

Penn State football junior linebacker Amare Campbell was named the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Rutgers, the foundation announced on Tuesday.

Campbell had arguably his best game as a Nittany Lion in week 14, recording 14 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, and one fumble return for a touchdown. The score came in a clutch moment for Penn State with the Scarlet Knights in position to score and take a two-score lead.

The UNC transfer now has 96 tackles on the season, 9.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, and one fumble return on the season. His touchdown on Saturday was the first of his college career.

Campbell and the rest of the Nittany Lions will await selection Sunday for the announcement of the date, place, and time of the bowl game they will be playing in.
