Week 3 Stats:
10 total tackles (8 solo), INT, QB hurry

DeBrito was a driving force behind Duquesne’s winning defensive effort against Long Island. The veteran defensive back totaled a team-high 10 tackles to go along with a quarterback hurry and a key interception in a 35-17 victory that lifted the Dukes’ record to 3-0. With LIU looking to cut into Duquesne’s 28-17 lead midway through the fourth quarter, DeBrito intercepted a pass at the Dukes’ 13-yard line to turn the tables. Throughout the game, the veteran safety was in on five tackles that limited the offense to a two-yard gain or less.
