QUINCY — A healthy Peyten Chappel roaming the middle of the field for the Quincy University football team gives the defense some teeth.

Walsh was reminded of that last Saturday.

In the Hawks’ 28-13 victory in North Canton, Ohio, the senior linebacker did a lot of everything as he piled up 12 tackles (seven solo) with three tackles for loss, two sacks, a forced fumble, a pass broken up and an interception which he returned 42 yards.

That effort earned Chappel the Great Lakes Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Week. 

Chappel currently ranks in the top five in QU history for total tackles (298) and interceptions (eight).
