TRAFFORD, Pa.--Westminster College sophomore Brite Cannon (Parkland, Fla., Monarch) was named Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Special Teams Player of the Week Monday afternoon.

This is Cannon's first PAC weekly award of the season. He earned PAC Newcomer of the Week honors Oct. 14, 2024.

Cannon accounted for 232 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns in a 28-23 PAC victory over Case Western Reserve Saturday night at DiSanto Field, delivering a pair of explosive second quarter touchdowns. With the Titans up 14-7, Cannon returned a kickoff 100 yards to help stretch the lead to 21-7. It was the program's first 100-yard kickoff return since Sean Buggey took one back against Washington & Jefferson on Oct. 8, 2005. It was the second kickoff return for a score, and fifth special teams' touchdown, of Cannon's career. Cannon also ripped off a streaking 80-yard catch and run on a pass from sophomore Sean O'Shea (Cranberry Township, Pa., Seneca Valley) with just under three minutes left in the second to stake the Titans to a 28-14 lead heading into the half. Cannon finished with six grabs for 126 yards--both were career highs for the sophomore.

Cannon's 42.5 yards per kickoff return average ranks No. 2 in Division III this season.

Up next:
Westminster, after enjoying its Sept. 27 bye, will host Bethany for its annual Family Weekend and Hall of Fame game on Saturday, Oct. 4. Kickoff from Memorial Field inside Harold Burry Stadium is set for 1 p.m.
