Brandon Griffin tabbed honorable mention STATS FCS Defensive Player of the Week

BALTIMORE, Md. – Brandon Griffin has been named honorable mention STATS FCS Defensive Player of the Week following an impressive season-opener performance against Towson in the inaugural Battle for Greater Baltimore.
 
The Baltimore native recorded a career-high with 8 tackles, 2 tackles for loss and a sack. He also collected the first interception of his collegiate career when he picked off a pass by Towson quarterback Morgan Mahalak in the first quarter.

Griffin helped lead a Morgan State defense that limited the Tigers to a total of 102 yards, including a dismal 17 rushing yards. The Bears also posted four sacks and recorded three interceptions.

Griffin was named the MEAC Defensive Player of the Week yesterday, his first weekly honor from the conference this season and in his career.
 
Griffin's FCS STATS national player of the week honorable mention is the first for the Bears this season.
 
Morgan State hosts UAlbany this week for its home-opener at Hughes Stadium, Saturday, Sept. 9. Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. and will be broadcast on WEAA, 88.9FM.
