RALEIGH, N.C. – Cornerback Aydan White has been named this week's Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week after his performance in the 27-14 win over Texas Tech.

The sophomore recorded five tackles (3 solo), including one for loss, one quarterback sack and intercepted two passes. White returned one of his interceptions 84 yards for a touchdown, which was the seventh longest in program history and longest for NC State since 2001 when Marcus Hudson returned an interception for 100 yards against Duke.

White is the sixth NC State player to earn Walter Camp National Player of Week honors since 2004, and the first since quarterback Devin Leary (Sept. 26, 2021). White is the first Defensive POW honoree since former linebacker Nate Irving (Sept. 26, 2010).
