TIFFIN, OH. – Following one of his best games of the season, senior linebacker Clourse Hardy (5’10”, 225, Oakland, CA) was named the Great Lakes Football Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his performances against Peru State as announced by the conference office Monday.
Hardy had a monster game, tallying 10.5 tackles, including nine solo stops to go along with an interception during Saturday’s tight 16-14 defeat.
Hardy came through with a key interception as the Bobcats were moving down the field late in the third quarter on a second-and-goal from the three, Hardy picked off Curtis Thompson after his pass was tipped, allowing Hardy to record the diving catch to preserve a score.
Hardy continues to trail only Devin Mack for the top totals on the team, as Hardy now has 32 total tackles, 26 solo, to go along with three tackles for a loss of five yards, one interception and a quarterback hurry.
The Blue Tigers will be back in action this Saturday, October 17, when they will travel to Central State (OH) to jump back into GLFC play with kickoff set for 1:30 p.m. ET/ 12:30 p.m. CT.
