Senior linebacker Tre Watson has been named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week and running back Anthony McFarland has been named Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Week after sensational performances in the Maryland football's team's win against Minnesota.
It marks the second week this season Maryland has had a pair of conference honorees, with Antoine Brooks Jr. and Jeshaun Jones earning accolades after the season-opening win against Texas.
Watson led all players with 11 tackles, including a sack, while also returning an interception 36 yards for a touchdown. The pick set the tone for the second half, as it opened an 18-point lead for the Terps just 46 seconds into the third quarter.
