Tj Munter Goes Supernova in Drexel/Miami Loss
Drexel/Miami was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Tj Munter did his best to prevent it. Munter turned in nothing short of a gem, forcing a fumble and making 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).
Greenfield's probably not too fond of Munter given he always seems to get the better of them. 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).
