Tyler Palin Earns Weekly Honor

November 4, 2009 at 10:57 am

After a stellar performance against Hamline, Tyler Palin (Jr./Mequon, Wis./University School) earned a spot on the D3football.com Team of the Week. Palin was the Knights leading receiver and set career-highs in receptions (10) and receiving yards (124). He kept the chains moving all day long as five of his catches earned the Knights a first down. His 31-yard reception was also the longest passing play of the day.


Palin was a defensive end during his first two years with the Knights, but was converted to tight end this season has flourished in his new role. He is fifth on the team with 21 receptions for 250 yards. His 11.9 yards per reception the second-best average among players with more than five receptions on the season.


The Knights play the final home game of the season this Saturday November 7th at 1:00 p.m. against Concordia College.
