For the second time this season and the third time in his career, linebacker Payton Wilson has been named ACC linebacker of the week, the conference announced Monday.

Wilson saw another big defensive performance against Louisville, leading the Wolfpack defense that held Louisville to just 13 points, including a scoreless first half and 20 yards rushing. The linebacker tallied 10 tackles to lead the team (in 68 snaps) - the 18th double-figure tackle output of his career. He also turned in 2.0 sacks for a loss of 15 yards, recovered a fumble, broke up a Cardinal pass on third down, and added a quarterback hurry.

On the drive that resulted in the Wolfpack's only touchdown of the game, Wilson rushed for a first down on a fake punt. He leads the ACC and ranks eighth in the FBS in tackles at 11.2 stops per game.

Wilson and NC State now turn their attention to Marshall as the Thundering Herd come to Carter-Finley Stadium on October 7 with kickoff slated for 2 p.m. and broadcast on the CW Network.
