PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Senior LB
Garrett Morris of the University of Pennsylvania football team was named the College Sports Madness Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week on Sunday morning as announced by the organization.
Morris garnered weekly accolades for the first time in his career.
He played a pivotal role in Penn's 45-17 win over Brown on Saturday afternoon, making six total tackles, one TFL and returning an interception for a touchdown. Four of his tackles were solo stops and he also added a QBH.
Morris became the first Quaker to return an interception for a touchdown since Nick Miller in October of 2017 against Columbia.
Penn will celebrate Homecoming on November 6 with an afternoon matinee against Cornell. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. as the Quakers look to retain the Trustees' Cup.
