Fresh off of his 14 tackle, two sack performance in the 27-19 win over LSU, Florida junior linebacker Vosean Joseph was named the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week on Sunday and presented by Generation UCAN.

Joseph had two sacks and three tackles for loss in the first 20 minutes of the LSU game on Saturday and finished with career highs in tackles (14), sacks(2), and tackles for loss (3.5). He was part of a defense that had five sacks and 11 tackles for loss against LSU in the big Gator win.

Joseph is the eighth Florida Gator to be named the Walter Camp National Player of the Week since 2004 and the first since Antonio Morrison did so in October of 2015.

For the season, Joseph leads the team in tackles (42), third on the team with three sacks, and fourth in tackles for loss (6.5). He also has two pass break ups, one quarterback hurry, and one fumble recovery on the season.

He’s made a vast improvement over a year ago where he was much more prone to missed tackles and playing out of control and is being rewarded with much more playing time, of which he is taking advantage.

Walter Camp, “The Father of American football,” first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp – a former Yale University athlete and football coach – is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football Foundation, a New Haven-based all-volunteer group – was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team. The Foundation is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA). The NCFAA was founded in 1997 as a coalition of the major collegiate football awards to protect, preserve and enhance the integrity, influence and prestige of the game’s predominant awards. The NCFAA encourages professionalism and the highest standards for the administration of its member awards and the selection of their candidates and recipients.
