Evan Horn, New Hampshire, S, R-Jr., 6-0, 206, Lebanon, Pennsylvania
Horn led the way as UNH held Maine to season lows in points and offensive yards while winning 28-10 in a CAA rivalry game. He recorded a game- and career-high 11 tackles, including 10 solos with two sacks, and forced a fumble that was recovered by a teammate.
