ADT DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

McCann (5-9, 180, Texas Tech) was an impact player on defense for Corpus Christi in the team’s, 44-30, Week 7 home win against Southwest Division foe Texas. The second-year wide receiver/defensive back registered 8.0 total tackles (7 solo, 2 asst) and a game-high five pass breakups and two interceptions. His second interception of the night was crucial to the Sharks’ victory. With Texas trailing Corpus Christi by seven points (30-37) with just 37 seconds to play it the contest, the Copperheads began a potential game-tying drive. McCann, however, stepped in and intercepted Stephen Wasil’s pass and returned it 31 yards for a game-clinching touchdown for the Sharks. He also excelled in special teams with 131 kick return yards (109 KR, 22 FGR) to finish with 184 all-purpose yards (22 Rcv, 109 KR, 22 FGR, 31 IR). This is the second weekly af2 award of McCann’s career. He also earned JLS Ironman of the Week honors for his two-way excellence in Week 3. McCann currently leads the team in a host of categories, including scoring (54 points – 9 TDs), field goal return yards (132), kick return yards (726 – 2nd in af2) all-purpose yards (1,040), tackles (33.5) and interceptions (3).
