Siena Heights junior linebacker Kole Murlin was voted the Mid-States Football Association (MSFA) Mideast League Defensive Player of the Week by the league office on Monday afternoon.

The Celina, Ohio native led the Saints defense with 14 tackles, two tackles for loss, and a sack in the 13-8 win against St. Francis (Ill.) on Saturday. Murlin has recorded an astounding 52 total tackles (which is second-most in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) through the season's first three games. He tops the leaderboard in the NAIA with 17.3 tackles per game.

This is the third time in Murlin's career that he has been named the MSFA Mideast defender of the week and the second time this season.

This week, the Saints hit the road for a noon matchup against St. Francis (Ind.) this Saturday (Oct. 2).
