BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Teon Burroughs was a force along the defensive line for the Eagles in a 34-10 rout of Faulkner (Ala.) in the Reinhardt home opener last Saturday.

The senior recorded five tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery in the win – which was good enough for the Folkston, Ga., native to be selected as the Mid-South Conference (MSC) Appalachian Division Defensive Football Player of the Week, conference officials announced on Monday.
