BUIES CREEK, N.C. Campbell's Milton Brown, after aiding
CU to its first victory in 58 years, was honored as the Pioneer
Football League's Defensive Player Of The Week, by the conference
office on Sept. 29. He is the first Campbell player to garner
weekly attention by the league since the school restarted the
program.
Brown had an outstanding performance for Campbell in the thrilling
36-27 win over Carthage on Sept. 27 with the first three
interceptions of his career. He also was able to return two of his
three picks for touchdowns in the victory. The win was the first
for Campbell since they restarted the football program this season
after a 58 year absence.
Brown's final interception of the evening was with Carthage driving
on the CU five-yard in the final four minutes and only down by two
at 29-27. He came up with CU's biggest play of the season in
picking off the Evan Jones slant attempt and returned it 99 yards
for the game-clinching touchdown to seal the victory. For Brown it
was his second touchdown return of the game and his third
interception of a standout individual effort.
He
began his evening by returning his first interception 32 yards for
a second quarter touchdown to give Campbell a 14-0 lead the midway
through the quarter. He then picked off his second pass of the game
in the third quarter and returned it 14 yards to thwart another Red
Men drive.
His two interceptions returned for touchdowns tied the Football
Championship Series (FCS) single-game record, while his three
interceptions and 145 return yards are both bests in the FCS this
season.
The redshirt freshman linebacker from Havelock, N.C. also recorded
four tackles and led the team with 145 all-purpose yards, all on
his interception returns.
Brown currently leads the team and is tied for second in the
conference with his 36 total tackles. He also is among the league
leaders in sacks (13th) and interceptions
(t-1st).
Campbell's football team will head to Dayton, Ohio next week to
take on the Dayton Flyers on Oct. 4 at 1 p.m.
