Vandenburgh Named MVFC Defensive Player of the Week For Third Time

ST. LOUIS — For the third time in just four games played, Illinois State senior linebacker Zeke Vandenburgh has earned Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors, as announced by the league office on Sunday.

Vandenburgh was previously honored by the MVFC as Defensive Player of the Week after strong performances in wins for the Redbirds over Valparaiso and Eastern Illinois. This honor is his third in as many games played and the fourth in his career at ISU.

Vandenburgh was all over the field against Southern Illinois on Saturday night.
