The Idaho Vandals redshirt junior linebacker, Charles Akanno, was named the FCS National Defensive Player of the Week by College Sports Madness, after leading the Vandals to a 35-27 victory Saturday, against No. 11 Eastern Washington.

Akanno recorded career highs with nine tackles and three pass breakups to go with a forced fumble and three quarterback hurries, while assisting on a tackle for loss.

The Vandals went on to record their first win since 1999 against a team ranked No. 11 or better in any national poll.

The Vandals open Big Sky Conference play Saturday, at Northern Colorado. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. MT/noon PT and will be televised by Eleven Sports.
