Ollendieck named MVFC Defensive Player of the Week

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Indiana State linebacker Garret Ollendieck was named this week's Missouri Valley Football Defensive Player of the Week as announced by the conference office on Monday morning.

Ollendieck receives the recognition for the second time in his career and first in the 2024 season following a standout performance this past weekend in the Sycamores' 24-13 win over Dayton.

The Cresco, Iowa native set a new career-high with 16 tackles on Saturday night and added his second collegiate touchdown with a 12-yard scoop-and-score in the second quarter to help propel Indiana State to their first win of the 2024 season in the Sycamores' home opener.
