Koi Perich Named Big Ten Freshman of the Week
Esko's Makoi Perich (3) runs in a touchdown during the 2022 season.
Koi Perich has been named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week, after another game with an interception.
Perich also added three tackles, but the interceptions is the focal point for Perich’s season, as he leads the entire Big Ten, freshman or not, in that category, and is now tied for fourth-most in a single season in program history.
Perich helped the gophers steamroll Maryland last week along with Max Brosmer, who was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week.
Perich and the Gophers will next be in action on Saturday at Illinois.
