SEGUIN, Texas -- Texas Lutheran junior linebacker Marvin Farris (Rosenberg/Lamar Consolidated) has been named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Defensive Player of the Week following the Bulldogs 23-0 shutout victory of Austin College over the weekend.

Farris, a native of Rosenberg, Texas, tallied seven tackles, including 0.5 tackles for loss, and a quarterback pressure.

With the Bulldogs leading 14-0, Farris made a play in the end zone to force a 'Roos safety, increasing the TLU lead to 16-0. Farris and the TLU defense held the 'Roos to just 158 yards of total offense.

Farris has 50 tackles on the season with 7.5 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks.

Farris is the fifth different Bulldog to earn SCAC Defensive Player of the Week honors in 2026.
