Forney, a junior from Newton, N.C., helped the Wasps to a 37-20
win at Shenandoah on Saturday, moving Emory & Henry back over
.500 at 5-4 overall. Forney notched a season-high 16 tackles,
including eight solo stops, to move him into solo second with 83
total tackles in the ODAC. One of his stops came with
15-seconds remaining in the first half as he stopped SU's running
back at the 1-yard line on fourth-and-goal to preserve E&H's
28-14 halftime lead. Forney also had one of three
interceptions by the Wasps defense. His pick came in the
fourth quarter with Shenandoah at the E&H 33-yard line trailing
30-20. Seven plays later, E&H scored the game's final
touchdown towards the 37-20 win. In addition to ranking
second in total tackles, Forney is second in assisted stops (41)
