University of Wyoming junior safety Chris Prosinski has been named the Mountain West Conference’s Defensive Player of the Week.
Prosinski had 10 tackles, including nine solo stops, a tackle for loss and forced a fumble in UW’s 17-16 win at Colorado State last Friday to secure a bowl berth for the Cowboys.
The biggest play came in the fourth quarter when Colorado State had a third-and-goal on the UW 4-yard line. He tackled CSU’s Dion Morton for a two-yard loss that forced the Rams to kick a field goal that kept the Cowboys within two points at 16-14.
It’s the first weekly honor for Prosinski.
TCU junior quarterback Andy Dalton won the offensive award and Utah kicker Joe Phillips earned the special teams honor.
