Josh Aldridge Named D2Football National Player of the Week

Aldridge forced two fumbles in Harding's upset of North Alabama.


Harding University sophomore defensive end Josh Aldridge was named Gulf South Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Monday and the d2football.com National Player of the Week on Wednesday. He is the fourth different Harding defensive player to earn the conference’s weekly award this season and the first to earn national honors.

Aldridge, a native of Jackson, Tenn., had five tackles, including four solo stops in Harding’s 29-28 upset of 15th-ranked North Alabama last Saturday in Harding’s season finale. Three of Aldridge’s tackles came in the North Alabama backfield, including two sacks, both of which forced fumbles.

Aldridge’s effort helped Harding set a new school record with 43 sacks during the 2010 season.
