Former Griz linebacker Brock Coyle has been named the starting middle linebacker for the defending Superbowl Champion Seattle Seahawks for this Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. Seahawks lineback coach Ken Norton said today, "We have been pleasantly surprised with Brock and his performance." Coyle will be replacing Bobby Wagner who is dealing with a hamstring injury. Coyle has played in every game this season for the Seahawks but this will be his first time starting.

We couldn't be happier for Brock and wish Wagner the best! Go Griz & Go Hawks!
