Taking home the Giant Eagle RMU Male Student-Athlete of the Week for Sept. 7, 2016, is sophomore Dante Satcher of the football team. A native of Clearwater, Fla., Satcher helped Robert Morris open the 2016 campaign with a bang, returning the opening kickoff against Alderson Broaddus (9/1) at Joe Walton Stadium 99 yards for a touchdown. It marks the longest kickoff return in the history of the program, and Satcher also becomes the first student-athlete in school history to return two kicks for a score. He also recorded a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown as a rookie in 2015. In the season opener against the Battlers, Satcher finished with 161 all-purpose yards.Â
