Kansas State sophomore defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah has been named the Walter Camp, Bronko Nagurski and Bednarik Award National Defensive Player of the Week. He is the fifth Wildcat all-time to earn honors from Walter Camp and Bronko Nagurski.
 
Anudike-Uzomah registered four sacks in K-State’s 31-12 victory over TCU on Saturday to tie the school record originally set by Chris Johnson at Missouri in 2000. A product of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Anudike-Uzomah totaled eight tackles and forced two fumbles. Two of his forces came on potential sacks, but since the ball was fumbled forward and beyond the original line of scrimmage, they were credited as rushes. If the ball had been recovered on TCU’s side of the line of scrimmage, those two would have been counted as sacks to give him six on the day, which would have tied an NCAA record and broken the Big 12 record.
 
Anudike-Uzomah ranks second in the nation this season in sacks (10.0) and forced fumbles (4), while he is 13^th in tackles for loss (11.5). With four regular-season games remaining, Anudike-Uzomah is just 1.5 sacks shy of tying the school record for single-season sacks.
