Bessey earns weekly GPAC award

For the fourth time in six weeks, Morningside University's football program was honored by the Great Plains Athletic Conference on its weekly awards release Monday, Oct. 4.

Senior defensive back Drew Bessey (Palmyra, Neb.) was tabbed the league's Defensive Player of the Week for Sept. 27-Oct. 3. He had a Homecoming 2021 game to remember with two interceptions in the first half that helped guide the No. 3-ranked National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Mustangs to a resounding 59-14 victory over Midland University Oct. 2. He also added five tackles, a tackle for loss and pass break up.
