Junior safety
Raeqwon Greer of the Alfred University football team was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week on Tuesday, Oct. 8.
Greer led the Saxons defense with 12 tackles, nine of them solo, in Alfred's 28-21 Homecoming victory over Morrisville State on Saturday. The safety also added a tackle for loss and a key pass breakup in Morrisville's final drive of the game.
A native of Buffalo, NY, Greer, a 2019 D3football.com First Team Preseason All-American, is second on the team with 33 tackles and has two pass breakups this season.
Greer is the seventh different student-athlete or group from the Empire 8 to earn D3football.com Team of the Week accolades this season.
This weekend features three Empire 8 conference matchups, as Hartwick is at Brockport, St. John Fisher travels to Utica and Morrisville hosts SUNY Cortland. Cortland is the lone Empire 8 unbeaten at 4-0 and has moved into the top-25 in both the D3football.com (22) and American Football Coaches Association (25) national polls. Brockport is also receiving votes in both polls.
