Harden is the second consecutive VSU defender to claim accolades, spearheading the Blazers’ defense in a 27-0 shutout at Southern Arkansas. The senior had a hand in three of the Muleriders’ turnovers, turning two of the miscues into touchdowns. The Valdosta, GA native nabbed an interception in the first quarter and then gave VSU a 7-0 lead at 5:45 when he returned a fumble 62 yards for a touchdown. Harden continued his impact performance in the fourth quarter, stretching the advantage to 27-0 with 9:51 on the clock when he returned an interception 42 yards for a score. His 123 total return yards was just 23 fewer yards than the VSU defense allowed on the day.
