Athlete Of the Week

Sam Hobi, a senior linebacker from Hurricane, Utah, was named Don Hansen Football Gazette Co-National Defensive Player of the Week and D3football.com Linebacker Of the Week for his performance against Denison University this past weekend.

Hobi led the Oberlin defense in the 33-20 defeat of Denison, a game in which the Big Red were held to minus 20 yards rushing. Hobi recorded 10 tackles, including six for a loss of 37 yards and a career-high five sacks for a loss of 30 yards in the game. Seven of Hobi’s tackles were unassisted.

Through nine games of the season, Hobi has 66 unassisted tackles and 46 assisted tackles for a total of 112 tackles. 15 of these tackles have been for a loss totaling 80 yards. Hobi also has nine sacks on the season for a loss of 61 yards.

Last season, Hobi led the Yeomen with 127 tackles, 66 of which were unassisted. Hobi was also named Honorable Mention All North Coast Athletic Conference as well as NCAC Newcomer of the Year.

The Yeomen will play in their last game of the season tomorrow in Richmond, Indiana when they take on Earlham College in NCAC action. Currently the Yeomen are tied with Earlham for fifth in the conference.
A win in this game would move the Yeomen to 3-7 overall and 3-4 in the conference, assuring them of a middle of the pack finish in the NCAC. Three wins would also equal the total number of wins that Oberlin had in the ’90’s.
