BREVARD, N.C. – Junior defensive lineman Wyatt Lankford was selected to the D3football.com Team of the Week following a career five-tackle performance that included four tackles-for-loss, a quarterback sack, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.

The award marks the fifth consecutive week that a member of the Brevard College football program has earned a spot on the national team of the week.

Lankford, a Criminal Justice major from Shelby, North Carolina, helped lead another dominant defensive performance for the Tornados in last Saturday's 20-10 victory at LaGrange College, racking up career-high totals in tackles, sacks, and tackles-for-loss while forcing and recovering his first-career fumble.

The junior becomes the fifth Tornado to be selected to D3football.com's Team of the Week in the Fall 2021 campaign.
