Defensive player of the week: a rough outcome overshadowed a great individual effort

Related Topics: Individual, Jordyn Brooks

Our player of the week is Jordyn Brooks, and a quick look at his stat line makes that abundantly clear. Brooks was basically forced to play the entire game without rest after Dakota exited, so he needed to have a monster night.

And oh, did he have one. 15 total tackles, 1.5 sacks and a QB hurry on the night made Brooks really stand out. Yes, overall the defense had a pretty rough night.

But, don’t let the final score and bad feelings make you forget how hard this team plays. Even in defeat the guys battle till the very end.
