BLUFFTON, Ohio - Bluffton University senior Brad Swavel (Marion/Ridgedale) has been named to the D3Football.com Team of the Week following his dominating performance at Rose-Hulman on Saturday, Oct. 11. It marks the first time that a Beaver has secured the award.
Swavel finished with nine tackles to go along with an interception, a forced fumble, a breakup and a fumble recovery in Bluffton's 31-17 victory at Rose-Hulman on Saturday. He helped the Beavers hold the top offense in the nation to almost 300 yards below its 622 yards per game average.
The senior linebacker leads the Beavers with 50 tackles and his 10.0 tackles per game ranks fourth in the Heartland Conference.
Bluffton will take its show back on the road again this Saturday, Oct. 18, when the Beavers travel to Richmond, Ind., looking to even their record at 3-3 with a third straight victory! Kickoff at Earlham College is slated for 1:30 p.m.
