KINGSTON, R.I. - Linebacker Moses Meus was named the CAA Football Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday morning.

In the Rams' conference-opening win over Elon on Saturday, Meus recorded a team-high seven tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, half a sack, and an interception. Meus' interception was one of four by Rhode Island in the game, marking the first time since 2013 that the Rams recorded four interceptions in a single game.

Meus has two interceptions through three games for Rhode Island. He and safety Andre DePina-Gray are the only two players in CAA Football with two interceptions this season. Meus' first interception of the year was returned 49 yards for a touchdown in Rhode Island's win at Merrimack on Aug. 28.

Through three games, Meus is tied for second on the team with 16 tackles, including nine solo stops.

Rhode Island heads to Stony Brook on Saturday, Sept. 21. Game time is set for 2:30 p.m.
