Desmond Hendricks (Chattanooga, TN) has been selected the SCAC Football Defensive Player-of-the-Week for games played Saturday, October 4.

Hendricks tallied 13 tackles (seven solo), 7.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and forced two fumbles in Rhodes’ 28-10 win over Washington (Mo.).

His 7.5 tackles for loss established a new SCAC single-game record and was one short of the NCAA Division III record of 8.5. The former conference mark was held by Dylan Tarr of Rose-Hulman, who had 6.5 tackles for loss against Millsaps on Oct. 18, 2003. Hendricks’ 4.5 sacks also tied an SCAC single-game record.
