University of South Carolina junior linebacker Skai Moore was selected as the Southeastern Conference’s Defensive Player of the Week, it was announced today.

Moore, a 6-2, 218-pounder from Cooper City, Fla., led the team with 10 tackles and came up with a pair of interceptions, both in the end zone, preserving the Gamecocks’ 17-13 win over North Carolina.

The Tar Heels marched down the field on their opening drive, moving 58 yards in six plays before Moore intercepted a pass in the end zone on a 3rd-and-goal play from the 7-yard line. Then with just a little over three minutes left in the contest, Moore again picked off a pass in the end zone, this time on a 4th-and-goal from the 8. The Gamecocks were able to run out the clock and secure the victory.

Moore now has nine interceptions in his career.
