The Big Ten had little choice but to name Dre'Mont Jones its Defensive Player of the Week after his dominating performance against TCU, and on Monday morning the conference made it official.
Jones claims the honors after a career-high six tackles, including two tackles for loss, one pass breakup and one sack. He also had a game-breaking interception in the third quarter which he ran back for a 28-yard touchdown to give the Buckeyes a 26-21 lead.
