Sylve, a native of Louisiana, recorded a 69-yard interception return for a touchdown for the Defenders against the Dragons. His impact play came in the fourth quarter, as he negated a potential scoring drive from Seattle. Sylve and the Defenders would win the game, 31-19.
He attended the University of Alabama from 2011 to 2015 and played four seasons under head coach, Nick Saban.
As a defensive back, he was part of two national championship teams and two Southeastern Conference title teams.
