University of Rochester junior defensive back Braydon Felsinger was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week following his week nine performance on the gridiron last Saturday.
 
Felsinger had a career day in the game against Hobart, piling up 14 tackles (8 solo), a new career-high, while accounting for two turnovers as well. The junior picked off a Hobart 4th-down pass attempt and returned it 60 yards into the Statesmen red zone and later provided Rochester's first points of the game, scoring on a 26-yard scoop-and-score fumble return touchdown.
 
The Yellowjacket defense, led by Felsinger, combined to hold Hobart off the scoreboard in the second half, helping the team rally from a 21-0 halftime deficit to force overtime. The Statesmen ended up securing the narrow 28-21 victory in overtime.
 
Felsinger's D3football.com Team of the Week honor is the first for the Yellowjackets this season. Rochester's last selection for this award was in week five of the 2024 season.
 
Overall this season, Felsinger has had a terrific campaign, piling up 74 total tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, 3 interceptions, 4 pass break-ups, 1 fumble recovery and 1 forced fumble.
