MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Senior linebacker \#Miles Sager\# became the third Major in as many weeks to receive national recognition for his defensive play, being named to Week 3's D3football.com Team of the Week presented by Scoutware.

Sager tied a career-high with eight tackles, including two tackles-for-loss, and had the game-securing interception on Austin College's final drive as Millsaps came from behind to top the 'Roos, 31-30 on the road.

A native of Monroe, La., Sager had just 26 career tackles heading into the 2009 campaign and already has 20 tackles (2.0 tackles-for-loss), a forced fumble and recovered fumble on the year in three games.

Millsaps will play host to conference rival Trinity University this Saturday in Jackson.
