Munter Made His Presence Known in Drexel/Miami's 58-40 Defeat
While Drexel/Miami might've come up empty on Friday, Tj Munter wasn't going down without a fight. Munter was dynamite, forcing a fumble and making 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss). He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Munter must have Greenfield's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Munter picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 14 total tackles (5.0 for loss) the last time he and Greenfield duked it out back in October of 2023.
