COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado State University Pueblo junior linebacker Bryson Torrie (Denver, Colo./Vista Peak) picked another Player of the Week honor on Tuesday morning as he has been named this week's National Football Foundation Colorado Chapter Player of the Week. 

It is the second time this season that the Pack had a player to earn an NFF Colorado Chapter Player of the Week accolade as senior quarterback Roman Fuller (Decatur, Texas/University of Tulsa) was honored on Sept. 9 following his performance against Fort Hays State. 

Torrie earns this week's NFF Colorado Chapter Player of the Week honor after his milestone effort in the Pack's 55-7 home win this past Saturday against Adams State. All Torrie did on defense against the Grizzlies was score two touchdowns as he forced a fumble on a 7-yard run by Gavin McFarland and returned that fumble 42 yards for a touchdown to give the Pack a 17-0 lead with 5:08 left in the first quarter. He would record his second touchdown after picking off a Gavin Herberg pass and returning it five yards for a touchdown to give the Pack a 38-0 lead with 11:07 left in the second quarter. Torrie is the only Division II player this season to score two defensive touchdowns in the same game, and is believed to be the only Pack player to score two defensive touchdowns in the same game since the program restarted in 2008. Along with scoring two defensive touchdowns, Torrie also finished the game with three tackles, including two solo stops. In the game, the Pack defense forced five turnovers as they picked off four passes and forced a fumble, and Torrie scored a total of 12 of the Pack's 55 points.

With his two touchdowns against Adams State, Torrie, who was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, becomes just the fourth Division II player to score two touchdowns in the same game. The other three players that achieved that feat were Pace's Nick Nasti, who returned two fumbles for a score against Stonehill on Oct. 10, 2015, Henderson State's Matt McFadden, who returned two interceptions for scores against Arkansas-Monticello on Oct. 26, 2013 and Mississippi College's Sam Washington, who returned two interceptions for a score against Troy State in 1974. 

Through five games this season, Torrie has recorded 26 tackles, including 13 solo stops, and had had a sack, a tackle for a loss, two pass break-ups, one interception, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble.

Torrie and the rest of the 12th-ranked ThunderWolves (4-1 overall, 3-0 RMAC) look to extend its win streak to four straight games this Saturday, Oct. 4 as they travel to Las Vegas, N.M., for a 1 p.m. RMAC contest at New Mexico Highlands (3-1 overall, 2-1 RMAC).
