MARTIN, Tenn. – Junior linebacker Ben Johnson was named the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week by College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) for his effort this past Thursday night in The University of Tennessee at Martin’s 23-6 victory over Southeastern Louisiana at Hardy M. Graham Stadium.

The UT Martin linebacker recorded his second consecutive double-digit tackle night of the young season. Johnson, from Primm Springs, had 12 tackles, 1.5 sacks for 11 yards and two TFLs (tackles for a loss).
