BREVARD, N.C. - A record seven Brevard College football student-athletes were named to D3football.com's Team of the Week following BC's dominant 44-14 victory over NC Wesleyan this past Saturday at Ives-Lemel Family Field.
Junior quarterback/tight end Dalton Cole was selected as tight end of the week following a three-touchdown performance, while sophomore defensive back Joc Pledger earned his second selection of the season after securing his fifth interception of the season. BC's entire starting offensive line consisting of senior Nicholas Eubanks, juniors Zion Barjolo, Ari, Drake, and Brandon Unangst, and sophomore Todd Norman were all picked to the Team of the Week following BC's 319-yard performance. Brevard's 319 yards on the ground last Saturday were its most since the 2016 season.
Cole, a native of Hendersonville, North Carolina, lined up both behind center and at tight end on Saturday, rushing for 60 yards and a game-high three touchdowns while hauling in three receptions for 37 yards.
Pledger, a Monroe, Georgia product, picked off his fifth pass of the 2021 Spring season in BC's 30-point victory. The sophomore cornerback is currently tied for second in all of NCAA DIII in total interceptions.
BC's starting offensive line on Saturday aided Brevard to its best rushing output since it was a member of NCAA DII. Sophomore running back Mitchell Yoder became Brevard's first 100-yard rusher of the season in the contest.
