Richmond, Va. – Redshirt freshman cornerback CJ Fraser has been named the Coastal Athletic Association Defensive Player of the Week after his performance in Richmond's 27-17 CAA-opening victory at Elon Saturday.
The Chesapeake native recorded a career-high nine tackles, 0.5 TFL's, a forced fumble and an interception in Richmond's win.
Fraser, who has made the first three starts of his career over the last three games, more than doubled his tackles total from the season. The interception and subsequent 12-yard return was the first of his career and one of three turnovers forced by the Spiders in the game. His pick led to a Richmond drive that ended in a field goal – three of 10 points scored off turnovers for the Spiders Saturday.
