UNI football: Woo Governor named MVFC Defensive Player of the Week

ST. LOUIS --- UNI defensive back Woo Governor has been named the Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league on Sunday. This is the first collegiate honor for Governor, who joined the Panther defense during the spring 2021 season after playing the 2019 campaign at Central Michigan.

Governor made program history in UNI's 52-17 rout of Western Illinois on Saturday with two interceptions returned for touchdowns, totaling 97 return yards. His first came during WIU's second drive of the third quarter, returning a deflected pass off teammate Bryce Flater for a 43-yard score.
