Michael Dejohn Crosses Big Stat Threshold

Kolbe Bufardeci Makes It Two for Willits
Keeping Garman company is Kolbe Bufardeci, a fellow Willits player. He made five total tackles and defended a pass. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass.
This year, Bufardeci has averaged 9.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.
