Southern Utah free safety Miles Killebrew was selected as the national co-Freshman of the Week by The Sports Network for his performance in the Thunderbirds' 49-42 win at Portland State.

Killebrew, a redshirt freshman from Henderson, Nev., tallied 15 tackles in the game, including 11 solo stops, the highest tackles total by an SUU freshman since the 2002 season when Steve Smith had 21 at Arkansas State.
