West Georgia defensive back Marcus Sayles (FR, 5-10, 170, Alpharetta, GA).
Sayles posts his first-ever laurel, playing a key part in UWG’s go-ahead, third-quarter touchdown in its 31-21 triumph at in-region Mars Hill. The Wolves trailed MHC 14-10 early in the third frame until the freshman defensive back blocked a Lions’ punt that David Singleton then scooped up and returned 19 yards for a TD. The score gave UWG the lead that never relinquished. The Alpharetta, GA native also shined on defense, intercepting a pass and recording two solo tackles and one assisted stop.
