J.D. Wild Named D2Football.com Defensive Player of the Week

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Senior captain J.D. Wild (Martha’s Vineyard, MA) has been named the D2Football.com Defensive Player of the Week.

Wild shares the national distinction with Dante Dunn of Wayne State.

Against Bryant, Wild finished the game with eight tackles, but more importantly two forced fumbles. Both forced fumbles came as the opponent was threatening to score. Furthermore, the first of the forced fumbles led to Merrimack's only touchdown in the game.

Wild joins Andrew Jackson (New Britain, CT) on the honor roll list for week two, as Jackson was named the Northeast-10 Defensive Player of the Week after picking off two Bryant passes.

Merrimack (1-1) hosts Assumption Friday night at 7 p.m.
