JOHN VANDER PYL
Football

The Panthers defense is a big reason why the team is off to its best start in eight years and John has been the linebacking corps biggest contributor. The starting inside linebacker has racked up a team-high 24 tackles in Chapman's first two games, including 15 solo tackles and nine assists. The Panthers held Pomona-Pitzer to just 10 points in regulation in the team's 24-17 double-overtime win in Week 2 and had a goal-line stand to end the first half.
