LANCASTER, Pa. - McDaniel College men's wrestling first-year Branden Whyte-Taylor was named Centennial Conference Athlete of the Week on Tuesday.

Whyte-Taylor earned the conference's first weekly honor of the season following his second collegiate event. It is the 13th honor for McDaniel over the last six seasons and he is this sixth different Green Terror to be honored during that time. He joins senior Thomas Monn, Alex DuFour, Jaedyn Harris, Alex LaVeck, and Tony Wuest.

Following first two collegiate events, Whyte-Taylor is 4-2 with all four wins coming by fall.

In McDaniel's 24-22 road win over No. 12 Elizabethtown on Saturday, Whyte-Taylor posted a second period fall at 133 points, against the fourth ranked wrestler in region 3, Corey Cope. Trailing 13-0 against the senior, Whyte-Taylor was able to avoid the tech fall by posting a fall in 3:25.

In his collegiate debut, Whyte-Taylor went 3-2 at 125 pounds in the Messiah Invitational.

McDaniel returns to action this Saturday, Nov. 15 at the Wilkes Invitational.
