The Winchester, KY, freshman defensive back ended the Tigers' 42-6 win over UVa.-Wise with five tackles, including one for a loss. Skinner's two interceptions led to Campbellsville scores while his forced fumble set up a scoop and score from teammate Earl McCann.

Skinner is tied for 10th in the Mid-South Conference with three interceptions this season. His 46 tackles are tied for fifth on the Campbellsville team.

Skinner is the second CU player to receive the MSC Defensive Player of the Week honor in as many weeks. Blake Young took home the honor last week. Campbellsville joins the University of Pikeville as the only schools to have two separate defenders receive Defensive Player of the Week honors in the MSC in back-to-back weeks this season.
