Tj Munter's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Drexel/Miami over Greenfield
Drexel/Miami was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Tj Munter did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Munter as he forced a fumble and made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss). He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Unfortunately for Greenfield, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Munter. When Munter last faced Greenfield back in October of 2023, he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 14 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
