RALEIGH, NC - Noah Gibson of Shaw University was named CIAA Defensive Back of the Week Monday after his sterling performance in a 21-10 football win over Johnson C. Smith on Homecoming Saturday.

Gibson was all over the field in the Southern Division win. He tallied a season-high seven tackles, including one for loss, against the Golden Bulls. The Jacksonville, N.C. native also picked off a JCSU pass.

A redshirt freshman, Gibson was part of a stingy defense that limited JCSU to 184 total offensive yards.
