Versus the Commodores, Kinlaw led the charge defensively for the Gamecocks in their 37-14 win. He racked up five tackles, including three for a total loss of 21 yards, two sacks for 18 yards, two forced fumbles, a pass breakup, and two hurries. In short, he was a one-man wrecking machine.
Kinlaw also received a 97.1 grade from Pro Football Focus, which placed him on its national team of the week.
Defensive end Isaiah Buggs of Alabama shared the SEC honor with Kinlaw.
