BIRMINGHAM – Texas A&M graduate Albert Regis earned SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors on Monday for his strong performance in the No. 10 Aggies' 41-40 road win over the then-No. 8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the conference office announced. It was the first SEC weekly honor of Regis' career.
Â
Regis, a defensive tackle from LaPorte, Texas, was a disruptive force in the middle as he tallied a career-high seven tackles, including five solo stops, which was also a career best. It was the most tackles by an Aggie defensive tackle since McKinnley Jackson had 12 against Ole Miss in 2022.
Â
The 6-1, 317-pound Regis was credited with a sack on an intentional grounding penalty that thwarted the Irish's initial drive of the second half and forced a punt. Four of his seven tackles were for a Notre Dame gain of 2 yards or less as the Aggies limited the Irish to 136 rushing yards (3.5 per rush).
Â
For the season, Regis leads the Aggies' defensive front with 15 tackles, including nine solo stops and a sack. Regis' 15 tackles rank No. 2 among all SEC defensive tackles.
