Indianapolis, Ind. - The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced the recipients of the first Football Player of the Week awards Monday morning. SBU linebacker, Coleton Smith, was named GLVC Football Defensive Player of the Week thanks to his performance against the University of Texas Permian Basin on Saturday. In that game, Smith led both teams with 20 tackles and had 2 quarterback hits and half a sack. Those 20 tackles were the most out of any GLVC player week one, the second most being 13 tackles. In addition, Smith's 20 tackles ranks 3rd most in a single game in SBU history. This marks Smith's first Player of the Week award, and SBU's second straight Defensive Player of the Week award, dating back to the last award of the spring 2021 season.
