Mizzou sophomore linebacker Nick Bolton is the SEC Defensive Player of the Week, after two interceptions in the Tigers 38-7 win over West Virginia last Saturday. He also career-highs in tackles (10), tackles for loss (3.0) to go with the pair of interceptions, one which was a 20-yard pick six.

Bolton became the first Tiger linebacker with a pair of interceptions in a game since 2015, when All-American Kentrell Brothers had two picks against Arkansas State.

The Tigers host Southeast Missouri State this Saturday.
