Webster tied a school-record with three interceptions last Saturday. He is only the sixth player in Tiger history to have three interceptions in a game and the first since 1978. His first interception set up an LSU field goal to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead. He returned the second interception 45 yards for a touchdown and a 10-0 LSU lead. His third pick came in the fourth quarter. He also added three tackles and three pass deflections in the game.

A three-person panel from the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) selects the winner of the weekly award.

The FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club pick a National Defensive Player of the Week each Monday. Webster will be added to the Watch List for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy which will be presented on Dec. 9 in Charlotte, N.C., by the FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club.
