Grand Valley State University

Erik Thompson
Safety
The veteran of the GVSU secondary almost added a second interception in last week’s win, but it’ll be Thompson and the rest of the secondary who have to stay honest against the Notre Dame College play-action passing. He noted that the Falcons’ dive play with Powell, one they ran to great success, would be a key to slow on Saturday.

Brad Horling
Linebacker
The redshirt freshman made his presence known early and often on Saturday in Oregon, recording nine tackles in the win. Horling has the ability to play both safety and linebacker in the Lakers’ defense, and his ability to help stuff the run will be important for GVSU with the run-run-run Notre Dame College offense.
