Middlebury College football player Erik Woodring (Cos Cob, Conn.) has been named the NESCAC and ECAC Defensive Player of the Week after leading Middlebury to a 10-7 win over Wesleyan in the season-opener.
Woodring had a solid day for the Panther defense, collecting 14 tackles, eight of which were solo. He and the Middlebury defense held Wesleyan to just one touchdown on the day, as Woodring broke up a pair of passes on the afternoon.
