C1 District 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Brant Gulizia Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Auburn's Brant Gulizia, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Gulizia picked up a sack and made nine total tackles (2.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. We rated that as his best performance of the season, edging out his previous best set back in August.
On the year, Gulizia has averaged 9.8 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 52.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 97 rushing yards.
