Tj Munter Delivers Electric Effort Vs Greenfield
While Drexel/Miami might've come up empty on Friday, Tj Munter wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Munter as he forced a fumble and made 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. 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.

A Season-Best Performance from Devin Steeley Leads Greenfield over Drexel/Miami
On Friday, Greenfield got the W thanks in part to Devin Steeley playing the best football he has all season. Steeley rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Greenfield: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
On the year, Steeley has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 22.8 receiving yards per game.
