T.L. Asbury has been named WVIAC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in the UC's 40-7 victory over Concord on Saturday. Asbury played a key role as Charleston limited Concord to negative-five rush yards in a 40-7 Golden Eagle victory.

He also contributed a pair of quarterback hurries as the Golden Eagles remained one of only two unbeaten teams in WVIAC play.
