TEMPE, Ariz. -- Redshirt senior defensive back Laiu Moeakiola has been named the Lott IMPACT Player of the Week, the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation announced on Tuesday.
The 6-1, 215-pound Moeakiola was one of nine NCAA players listed as a nominee for the Week 4 Lott Impact Player of the Week due to his performance against California.
With 2:52 remaining in the game on Saturday and Cal trailing 37-34, Moeakiola intercepted quarterback Davis Webb and returned it for a touchdown to seal the victory for the Sun Devils, putting them ahead 44-34. He also totaled five solo tackles and one batted down pass.
Moeakiola has been named to the Lott IMPACT Trophy watch list for two consecutive seasons entering 2016. He is the first Sun Devil to win the weekly award since former safety Alden Darby in September of 2013.
In recognition of Moeakiloa's performance, the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation, sponsors of the Lott IMPACT Trophy, will make a $1,000 donation to the general scholarship fund at Arizona State.
