SAN FRANCISCO-Tuesday, Utah junior linebacker Devin Lloyd was named the Pac-12 defensive player of the week.

In the Utes’ 40-17 win over Weber State Sept. 2, Lloyd netted a career-high 12 tackles, including eight stops in the first half.

The preseason All-American out of Chula Vista, Calif. had the fifth-most tackles in FBS action throughout the country during Week 1.

This was Lloyd’s fifth career game with double-digit tackles and the most by a Ute since 2019.

Lloyd has posted at least one tackle for a loss in nine straight games.

The Utes meet bitter rival BYU Saturday evening at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo.
