Defensive Player of the Week
Myles Elam - Kansas Wesleyan University
5-9 | 185 lbs. | Fr. | LB | McKinney, Texas
Elam had a great game on the defensive side of the ball. He was part of KWU's defense that held Tabor to only 37 yards rushing on the day. Among his eight tackles, he had two on fourth down plays that stopped Tabor drives. He added another on a sack in the third quarter for a 16-yard loss that pinned Tabor at its own 10 yard line and forced the Bluejays to punt out of the end zone.
