BUFFALO, NY – A pair of Bulls were honored by the Mid-American Conference on Monday following UB's win over Central Michigan. Safety Devin Grant was named the MAC East Defensive Player of the Week and kicker Alex McNulty was named the MAC East Special Teams Player of the Week.
Grant had three interceptions, including two pick-sixes for the Bulls. The sophomore safety returned interceptions 29 yards and 58 yards for touchdowns in the game. His first pick six came on CMU's third offensive play of the game, setting the tone for the Bulls. His second pick six came on the Chippewas' first possession of the second half, icing the game for UB. Grant tied the program record for interceptions in a game and became the first Bull to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same contest.
It is the first time Grant has won the weekly honor.
On a blustery day at UB Stadium, McNulty made three of his four field goal attempts. The graduate kicker connected on field goals of 19, 44 and 48 yards. He made all four PATs. In addition, all seven of McNulty's kickoffs went for touchbacks.
It is the fifth time McNulty, who was the 2022 MAC Special Teams Player of the Year, has won the award in his career.
The Bulls home again Saturday to host Bowling Green at UB Stadium.
