BREVARD, N.C. - Following the first shutout for Brevard College football since the 2014 season, and the first against an NCAA opponent in program history, senior linebacker Steffon Canady was selected to the D3football.com Team of the Week.
Canady, a senior hailing from Glendale, Arizona, was heavily involved in the impressive defensive showing for the Tornados in their 31-0 victory over Maryville College on Homecoming. The linebacker totaled three quarterback sacks, pushing his program-record total to 18 for his Tornado career, while also forcing a pair of fumbles and recovering one. Canady also tallied five tackles and three quarterback hurries in the victory.
Canady's three sacks were his highest single-game total since he tied a program record with four sacks in the 2019 Scotty Whitelaw Bowl vs. Carnegie Mellon, where he was named the game's Most Valuable Player. Through just 21 games in his Tornado career, Canady has racked up 132 tackles, 18 sacks, 29.5 tackles-for-loss, four forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
Throughout the course of Canady's stellar career at Brevard, the Exercise Science major has been awarded 2019 USA South All-Conference Second Team honors, a nod as a 2019 All-ECAC First Team selection, MVP of the 2019 Scotty Whitelaw Bowl, and Spring 2021 USA South All-Conference West Division. After his performance vs. Maryville, Canady was awarded the USA South Defensive Player of the Week before garnering the first national weekly honor of his career.
