Bloomington, Ind. - Indiana senior defensive tackle Kris Dielman earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week accolades for his efforts in the Hoosiers' win over William & Mary on Saturday.

Dielman tied a school record with five tackles for losses in the game, and also recorded a sack and recovered a fumble.

The co-captain from Troy, Ohio, was the key factor in Indiana limiting the Tribe to -32 yards rushing in the game.

An honorable mention All-Big Ten selection last year as a tight end, Dielman made the switch to the defensive side of the ball in spring camp.
