After a record-breaking performance, Grinnell College linebacker Ryan Slager ’19 has been named the Midwest Conference Football Defensive Player of the Week.
 
Slager, from Orland Park, Ill. (Amos Alonzo Stagg), made history Saturday by breaking the NCAA Division III record for career tackles. He had 18 stops against Lake Forest College, giving him 561 and breaking the previous mark of 545 held by Luther College’s Kyle McGivney from 2008-11.
 
Slager is currently ranked third for career tackles among all levels of NCAA. His performance sparked a Pioneer defense that limited Lake Forest to its second-lowest scoring output of the season.
