Gavin Carpenter made quite the impression in his first career start with a MWC-best 14 tackles (15th nationally) on Saturday night at #9 Wartburg. He also delivered 4 TFL which leads the MWC and is 5th in the nation, adding a sack and forced a fumble. Carpenter was all over the place as the Scots held Wartburg 12 points and 75 rushing yards below their 2024 averages. Of his 14 tackles on the night, 10 were solo and Carpenters TFL's resulted in 11 lost yards for the Knights.
