Millsaps Football Garners Sixth National Weekly Award

STERLING, Va. -- For the sixth time this season and the second time in as many weeks, a Millsaps student-athlete has been named to the d3football.com National Team of the Week. Sophomore defensive back Marcus Harris earns this week's honor - his second consecutive.

Reigning SCAC Defensive Player of the Week for the past two weeks, Harris has played a huge role in the Majors success on the defensive side of the ball.

Harris followed up a seven tackle, two interception (49 yard return for TD) performance in a 31-7 home win against DePauw with another stellar game at Sewanee last weekend.

The Vicksburg, Miss., native record three tackles, two pass breakups and three interceptions as the Majors cruised to a 35-18 win over the Tigers.

The win over Sewanee sets up a Nov. 11 (Homecoming) showdown with No. 19 Trinity University at Harper Davis Field for the SCAC crown. Game time is slated for a 2 p.m. start.
