Byron Mitchell, Shenandoah, Sr., Def. Back

Mitchell, a senior from Virginia Beach, Va., picks up his second weekly award of the season after helping the Hornets to their first-ever ODAC win on Saturday.  Mitchell posted an ODAC-high 13 tackles, including 11 solo stops.  He also made 3.5 stops in the Bridgewater backfield, 2.5 of which were quarterback sacks.  One of his sacks forced an Eagles' fumble, which led to the second of two Andrew Smith first-half touchdown runs.  Mitchell struck again in the fourth quarter after BC had already put up 13 points in a comeback bid.  Mitchell forced and recovered a fumble with 4:15 to play, helping SU secure the win.  Mitchell is currently tied for first in the ODAC with 38 tackles, and his three forced fumbles top the league charts.
