Good: Chris Scott, DT
Without much of a pass rush this year, the Bearkats haven’t affected the opposing QB as much as they hoped in Year 1 at the FBS level. Still, Chris Scott has shown he can effectively move the pocket at times this season and has one of the team’s two sacks.
Great: Da’Veawn Armstead, S
Leading the way with three pass breakups, Da’Veawn Armstead has been a bright spot this year. He’s done well enough in coverage to hold up against some top wideouts and has recorded four PBUs in three games.
Grand: Kavian Gaither, LB
The team’s second-leading tackler, Kavian Gaither has 21 total tackles but 15 solo stops. He’s been racking up tackles due to inefficiency on the defensive front, but he’s certainly done enough to move the needle in his direction.
Wonderful: Trevor Williams, LB
The team’s leading tackler rounds out our top four here as Trevor Williams and the Bearkats defense is about the only glimmer of hope in 2023. Williams has 38 total tackles and made his impact felt by running the alley and making multiple stops behind or at the line of scrimmage.
