GLIAC - Linebacker Julius Wilkerson was been named the GLIAC Defensive Player of the Week for week two. He played a major role in DU's 24-19 win over RV Bowie State to improve to 2-0. He had a game-high 17 tackles in just his second game with the Panthers after transferring from Wayne State. The 17 tackles is third best in school history and became the first player with 15-plus tackles in a game since Jalen Robinson had 15 against Grand Valley State in November 2021. Wilkerson played over 80 snaps at linebacker and had nine solo tackles primarily in the short passing game by Bowie State and also recovered a fumble at the DU seven-yard line on Bowie State's opening drive. Wilkerson is currently tied for the GLIAC lead in tackles with 11.5 per game through two contests.
