2015 (Sophomore): Posted one of the greatest seasons by an ACU defender in recent program history, leading the Southland Conference history in tackles and solo tackles. He led FCS football in solo tackles (90) and his 138 total tackles and 12.5 tackles per game – good enough to lead the Southland Conference in both categories – were both fourth in FCS football. He was the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year for his work in both the classroom and on the field, and was a first team all-conference selection. He started all 11 games at middle linebacker and had double-digit tackle totals in nine of those games. In ACU’s 35-32 home win over Stephen F. Austin on Sept. 26, he had 18 tackles and one pass breakup on his way to earning league Defensive Player of the Week honors. The next week at Central Arkansas, he followed it up with a career-high 21 tackles. His 138 tackles is the third-best single-season mark in ACU history, and after two seasons, he already has 215 career tackles, putting him on pace to finish his career as the program’s all-time leading tackler (Ryan Boozer, 388 tackles from 1998-2001).

2014 (Freshman): Denmark moved into the Wildcats’ starting lineup in the season’s second week of the season and remained there for the rest of the season, except for games he missed with injury against Central Arkansas (Nov. 1) and Northwestern State, La. (Nov. 8). Denmark finished the season with 77 tackles (39 solo), averaging 7.7 tackles per game (eighth in the Southland Conference). He also led all Southland Conference freshmen in both total tackles and tackles per game. Denmark had a big game at home against Incarnate Word on Sept. 20 in a game broadcast on the Southland Conference TV Network, finishing the game with six tackles (three solo) and two interceptions (18 yards in returns). One of those interceptions came on UIW’s first possession of the second half, cutting off a scoring opportunity inside the ACU 10-yard line with the Wildcats leading 14-0. ACU would go on to win the game 21-0 for the program’s first Southland Conference win since 1972. Denmark had double-digit tackle totals in each of his final three games of the season: 11 at McNeese State on Oct. 18 (two solo), 14 at Sam Houston State on Oct. 25 (three solo), and 12 at Stephen F. Austin on Nov. 15 (seven solo). Denmark finished with two sacks and four tackles for loss on the season, and he also had one fumble recovery (at Houston Baptist on Sept. 27).
