FORT VALLEY, Ga. -- After his best game of his FVSU career, football linebacker DeMarcus Harris is the Wildcat Men's Athlete of the Week for Sept. 30-Oct. 6. The senior defender had a career-high nine tackles, 4.5 of those for a loss, a pair of sacks and a pass breakup to lead the FVSU defense as part of the 48-14 win at Edward Waters.
