Football - Defense- Student-Athlete of the Week
Zachary Gable I DE | Pacific Lutheran | SR | Vancouver, Wash. | Mountain View
Gable did a little bit of everything in Saturday's 47-29 win over Pacific. Gable had three TFLs, two sacks, a forced fumble, an interception and a quarterback hurry. One of his sacks was a sack fumble that turned into a safety in the first quarter, swinging the momentum in favor of the Lutes.
