MINNEAPOLIS- Millsaps Majors' defensive end Jeff Milner has been named to the D3 Football National Team of the Week for his efforts against LaGrange on Saturday. 

Milner also earned the Southern Athletic Association defensive player of the week after his three-and-a-half sack performance against the LaGrange Panthers. Two of the three-and-a-half sacks were "strip-sacks" where he forced a fumble on the play, the Majors recovered both of his forced fumbles. 

Milner also was second on the team with seven tackles in Saturday's win. For the season, Milner leads the Majors with four and a half sacks and is tied with fellow defensive lineman Zach Bell with six tackles for loss. 

Milner and the Majors are hosting Point University out of Georgia this Saturday at Harper Davis Field. Kick off is set for 1pm.
