LAGRANGE, Ga. – Freshman defensive end Christopher Sutton (Roanoake, Ala.) of the LaGrange College football team was named the USA South Athletic Conference Defensive Rookie of the Week for the week ending October 25^th in an announcement by the conference on Monday.

Sutton, a Marketing & Entrepreneurship major from Roanoke, Alabama, took a fumble in for a score in a 22-14 win over USA South foe Greensboro last week. The fumble turned out to be the game-winning score as the Panthers took an early lead they would not relinquish. Sutton also added one solo tackle in the victory.                                                                                          
For the season, Sutton has seven tackles with one sack in six games.

LaGrange is back on the field next Saturday when they travel to Huntingdon College for a game between the last two undefeated teams in the USA South. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. central time.
