BREVARD, N.C. – Sophomore linebacker Geoff Banning was selected to the D3football.com Team of the Week following his career-high eight-tackle performance vs. Huntingdon which included 3 1/2 tackles-for-loss and 1/2 quarterback sack.
Banning's selection makes him the second Tornado to earn national weekly plaudits this season, as he joins teammate Jaden O'Leary who was honored following BC's victory over NC Wesleyan. Banning also becomes the 15th weekly national honoree for Brevard since BC was eligible for such honors beginning in 2017.
Banning, a product of Inverness, Florida, wrangled up eight tackles on Saturday that included five solo stops. The sophomore totaled a career-best 3 1/2 tackles-for-loss that led all Tornados in the game, and also combined on a quarterback sack with teammate Issiah Bradley. Banning also tallied a quarterback hurry in the performance. Overall, Banning ranks second on the Tornados in both tackles-for-loss (six) and sacks (1.5) so far this season.
The Tornados will return to action this Saturday, October 2 as Brevard matches up with Greensboro College in Greensboro, North Carolina, with kickoff slated for 4 p.m.
