Saturday afternoon at University Stadium in Waterloo, the Guelph Gryphons produced one of the top defensive performances of the entire 2018 U SPORTS football season. Fourth-year linebacker Job Reinhart was right in the middle of it all. The Guelph native helped lead a phenomenal defensive effort, which included six interceptions and two defensive scores. Reinhart, who was all over the field during the game with 10 tackles, set the tone with a 1st quarter interception that he returned 72-yards the other way for a touchdown to open the scoring. For the Gryphons' standout two-sport athlete at U of G (Reinhart also competes on U of G's men's wrestling team) it marked the second time this season that the 6-0,. 237 lbs linebacker has taken one back all the way following his 26-yard pick-six during Guelph's win over York on Labour Day.
