BREVARD, N.C. – For the second time this season, senior linebacker Steffon Canady was honored by D3football.com, earning a selection onto its Team of the Week following Canady's record-shattering performance on Saturday in Brevard's 7-3 win over Southern Virginia.
The nod marks the sixth consecutive week that a Brevard College Tornado has earned a spot on the national team of the week, with Canady receiving his second honor while teammates Geoff Banning, Wyatt Lankford, Jaden O'Leary, and Joc Pledger also earning national plaudits this season.
Canady, a Glendale, Arizona native and an Exercise Science major at Brevard, accumulated eight tackles and tied his own record with four quarterback sacks for a total loss of 30 yards. The senior also logged a forced fumble and a pass breakup to his ledger.
Canady currently leads the conference with 9 ½ sacks this season and has accumulated a program record of 22 ½ sacks over the course of three seasons at Brevard. Canady set the program single-season mark back in 2019 with 11 ½ sacks in the season.
Over the course of BC's last three contests, Canady has surged with 7 ½ quarterback sacks to pace a Tornado defense that has allowed just 20 points and five points-per-game over the course of its four-game win streak. Brevard's defense is tied-for-first in all of NCAA Division III with 31 total sacks, while leading the entire country with 78 tackles-for-loss.
