Tyson Deen's big game helped extend Southwest's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Deen as he forced two fumbles and made eight total tackles. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing two fumbles and making eight total tackles.
Unfortunately for South San Antonio, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Deen. Deen forced a fumble and made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss) the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in October of 2023.
