WEEK 13 NEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Matt Clark, Duquesne, Kicker, Senior, 5-9, 170 lbs., Easton, PA/Easton Area,...Week 13 Stats: 2-2 FG (34, 42 yards), 1-1 PAT, 232 kickoff yards, 4 kickoffs, 58.0 yards per kickoff, 1 touchback,...Clark played the role of hero for Duquesne on the final day of the 2025 regular season. Tying up the contest at 17-all with a 34-yard field goal with 8:18 left to play in the fourth quarter, the senior drilled a 33-yarder as time expired to lift the Dukes to the 20-17 win at crosstown rival Robert Morris. The Keystone State product's game-clinching field goal at the buzzer was the first for Duquesne since Charlie Leventry walked it off for the Dukes with a successful 31-yard conversion at Sacred Heart on Nov. 14, 2009. Going perfect in each of his four scoring attempts after turning in a perfect 2-for-2 effort on PATs, Clark also handled the kickoff duties for his squad. On four attempts, he totaled 232 yards with a touchback to average 58.0 yards per kickoff on the afternoon. Clark finished with two NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Special Teams Player of the Week awards. He is one of three Dukes to earn the distinction this season, joining Joel Kpassou (Oct. 13) and Michael Berarducci (Nov. 17). - NEC Football

WEEK 12 NEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Antonio Epps, Duquesne, Defensive Back, Redshirt-Senior, 5-10, 195 lbs., Liberty Borough, PA/South Allegheny,...Week 12 Stats: 12 tackles (9 solo), 1 interception, 4 interception return yards, 1 pass breakup,...Epps had a career day in a huge game that kept Duquesne in contention for a share of the league's regular season title and the NEC's AQ to the NCAA FCS Playoffs. The Liberty Borough, PA native recorded a career-high 12 tackles, including nine solo stops, but those marks were overshadowed by his end-of-game heroics that sealed the Dukes' 38-33 win over then-undefeated Central Connecticut. With 36 seconds left, the redshirt senior defensive back recorded an end-zone interception on the potential go-ahead score to hold off a Blue Devis' squad that scored on each of their previous two drives. The pick was the second of Epps' career. In addition, his 12 stops were tied for the most by a Duke in a game this season. This is the first career weekly award for Epps, a 2024 All-NEC first teamer, and the third NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Defensive Player of the Week award for Duquesne this season. - NEC Football

11/25/25 - RB Taj Butts, rSr/2026, Duquesne + More +

WEEK 12 NEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Taj Butts, Duquesne,...Running Back, Redshirt-Senior, 5-11, 205 lbs., St. Louis, MO/De Smet (Missouri),...Week 12 Stats: 254 rushing yards, 14 rushes, 3 rushing touchdowns, 18.1 yard per rush,...Butts delivered one of the NEC's most explosive outings in recent history, and the timing could not have been better for Duquesne. The veteran powered the Dukes' offense to a 38-33 win in a back-and-forth slugfest against Central Connecticut, which entered the contest with a perfect 5-0 mark against NEC foes. With the win, Duquesne remains in the race for a share of the NEC regular season title and the league's AQ to the NCAA FCS Playoffs. A native of St. Louis, Butts racked up a career-high 254 rushing yards — the seventh most by an FCS running back this year — and three rushing touchdowns on just 14 carries for an exceptional 18.1 yard-per-rush average.

He found the end zone on runs of 29, 57 and 59 yards to become the first Duke to eclipse the 250-rushing yard mark since 2003 and the first player in the conference this year to register multiple 50-yard runs in the same game this season. In addition, he compiled the most rushing yards by an NEC player since Central Connecticut's Elijah Howard ran for 257 vs. Delaware State on Dec. 7, 2023. Butts' 59-yard run with 3:19 left to play ultimately sealed the win just two plays after the Blue Devils took a lead. On the season, Butts has four rushing scores and 546 rushing yards. He joins quarterback Tyler Riddell and fellow linemate Ness Davis as NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Offensive Player of the Week honorees from Duquesne. Butts' performance also garnered him national recognition, as he was pegged the Stats Perform FCS National Offensive Player of the Week. - NEC Football

WEEK 13 NEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Anthony Busa, Stonehill,...Defensive Back, Sophomore, 6-3, 200 lbs., Newton, MA/Xaverian Brothers/East Coast Prep,...Week 13 Stats: 12 tackles (9 solo), 2.5 tackles-for-loss, 0.5 sacks, 1 interception,...Busa balled out in Stonehill's regular season finale on Saturday. The defensive back posted a game-high 12 tackles, including nine solo stops, to anchor a Skyhawks' back line that allowed just 10 points and racked up five turnovers in a 10-point win over visiting Saint Francis. The 12 tackles marked a career-best effort for the Newton, MA native, with his previous personal-best mark of 11 coming at Duquesne last month. In addition, Busa, who had 2.5 tackles-for-loss and 0.5 sacks, returned his second career interception for 28 yards. Busa concluded his sophomore season with 74 tackles, second-most among fellow Skyhawks, and a team-high eight pass breakups. With his honor, Stonehill landed a pair of NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Defensive Player of the Week awards as junior linebacker Charles Battaglia earned the distinction on Sept. 29. - NEC Football

WEEK 12 NEC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: Nicholas Romero, Wagner, Kicker, Freshman, 5-9, 165 lbs., Pembroke Pines, FL/St. Thomas Aquinas,...Week 12 Stats: 2-2 FG (40, 41 yards), 2-2 PAT,...Romero became the second first-year player to repeat as NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Rookie of the Week this season, joining Duquesne's Ryan Petras. The true freshman contributed eight points to Wagner's count on Saturday as the Seahawks defeated visiting Stonehill by a 20-14 final for their fourth-straight win. That rally marks the program's longest since winning six-in-a-row in a banner-raising 2012 campaign. In addition, with the win, Wagner remains in contention for a share of the 2025 NEC regular season title. Converting on the extra point on Jordan Johnson's pick-6, the first score of the game, Romero pushed the Seahawks' lead to 10-0 before the end of the opening quarter with a 40-yard field goal. Later in the game, he pushed the advantage to 13 with a 41-yarder eight seconds into the final period. The Pembroke Pines, FL has been on point as of late, going a perfect 20-for-20 in his last kick attempts with eight successful field goals and 12 PAT conversions. On the season, he ranks third in the FCS in field goal percentage (.923) while his 12 made field goals and 1.1 field goal per game average are both good for first in the NEC. - NEC Football

On six punts, the redshirt senior averaged 50.7 yards per boot to consistently flip field position in the back-and-forth slugfest. Included in his afternoon was a 67-yard blast — a punt that is tied for the fifth-longest in Duquesne history and is currently the fifth-longest in the NEC this season. Placing four punts inside the 20-yard line, Berarducci also delivered three punts over 60 yards with each of his four attempts going for more than 50 yards. With nine punts 50-yarders this season, the Allison Park, PA native tops the league's charts with 42.5 yards per punt this season. He is the second Duke this season to garner the award, joining kick returner Joel Kpassou. - NEC Football

Converting on all but one of his six field goal attempts, the redshirt senior accounted for all 15 points of his team's points in a game that saw the Red Flash come painstakingly close to scoring their first win of the season. A product of Lebanon, PA, Plummer split the uprights from 28, 34 and 26 yards in the first half to send Saint Francis into the locker room with a halftime lead of 9-0. Following a 10-0 Mercyhurst run in the third quarter, Plummer, whose lone misfire came on a blocked field goal in the opening minutes of the fourth, bounced back and put his team back in front with consecutive conversions from 20 and 25 yards at 1:50 and 1:07, respectively. The Lakers spoiled the redshirt senior's heroics, though, as a 15-yard touchdown throw with just 20 seconds remaining secured the win for the visiting squad. His five field goals were the most by a player in the nation this season. In addition, of the eight place kickers in the FCS that have drilled four field goals in a game, Plummer is the only one to have accounted for all of his team's points. He has gone 10-of-13 on the season and averages 1.0 field goals per game. - NEC Football

The Rahway, NJ native has been an integral part of a Sharks' defense that has limited NEC squads to just 12.0 points per game, the second-best average in the league, this year. In addition, LIU nearly shut down the conference's top two scoring teams during that stretch, as it held undefeated Central Connecticut to 10 points on Nov. 1 before it limited Duquesne to 11 points on Saturday, a mark that is significantly lower than the Dukes' season average of 29.4 points per game in league play. At Duquesne, Watkins posted six tackles, including five solo stops. Most impressively, the defensive back produced a pivotal play in the third quarter when he returned an interception 30 yards to the end zone to extend LIU's advantage to 22-3 in the eventual 29-11 win. Watkins leads the NEC with five picks this season while his 0.5 interceptions per game are good for second in the FCS. - NEC Football

11/25/25 - QB AJ Duffy, rSr/2027, New Haven + More +

WEEK 11 NEC CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: AJ Duffy, New Haven, Quarterback, Junior, 6-2, 215 lbs., St. Augustine, FL/Rancho Verde (Florida State/San Diego State),...Week 11 Stats: 15-of-26 completions, 311 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 0 interceptions, 70 rushing yards, 12 rushes, 1 rushing touchdown...Duffy put an exclamation point on New Haven's inaugural season as an NEC and NCAA Division I member by delivering a sensational performance against visiting Merrimack on Saturday. The junior quarterback orchestrated a second-half comeback that saw the Chargers bounce back from a 10-point halftime deficit to score a 41-31 victory over the Warriors. Opening the afternoon with the game's first score, a one-yard scamper into the end zone, Duffy followed a Liam Quigley field goal with a 70-yard touchdown bomb to Jonathan Lawson to knot the score up at 24-all midway through the third quarter.

That throw was the fourth-longest in the NEC this season. The Floridian continued to take control of the game and fuel the Chargers' torrid scoring run in the fourth quarter. After Quigley kicked the go-ahead field goal just 15 seconds into the stanza, he threw touchdown passes of 37 and 60 yards to give his team a comfortable 41-24 lead with 5:04 left to play. With two weeks to go in the 2025 regular season campaign, Duffy, who racked up 311 passing yards and 70 rushing yards in the win, tops the league's charts in several passing categories. He is first in touchdown throws (22), passing yards (2,347) and passing yards per game (234.7). In addition, Duffy is ranked among the nation's top-15 in each of those three categories, with his 22 touchdown passes being the sixth-most. Duffy closed out his first season as an NEC signal caller with two NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Offensive Player of the Week nods. - NEC Football

WEEK 11 NEC CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Elijah Howard, Central Connecticut, Running Back, Senior, 5-10, 185 lbs., Knoxville, TN/Baylor School (Virginia Tech),...Week 11 Stats: 178 rushing yards, 17 rushes, 2 rushing touchdowns, 93-yard touchdown run (3rd longest in FCS), 39 receiving yards, 4 receptions,...Howard set the tone early for Central Connecticut on Saturday against visiting Stonehill. Opening the game with a three-yard touchdown scamper on the first drive of the game, he propelled the undefeated Blue Devils to a wire-to-wire, 40-10 win that clinched at least share of the NEC regular season title for the second time in as many seasons. Accounting for 18 rushing yards and 19 yards through the air in Central Connecticut's 12-play, 78-yard opening drive, the senior led all rushers with 178 yards while adding 39 receiving yards on the afternoon. In addition to delivering the game's first score, Howard extended the Blue Devils' game-opening run to 23-0 with a 93-yard touchdown run, a foot race that was the longest by an NEC player this season and the third-longest in the FCS this season. The Knoxville, TN native leads the NEC in conference play with 97.0 rushing yards per game, while his 89.7 rushing yards per game and eight rushing scores on the season are also league-best marks. This is Howard's second NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Offensive Player of the Week award this year. - NEC Football

With the game tied at 20-all in the final seconds, the Floridian walked it off for Wagner with a 28-yarder to seal the victory. On the afternoon, Romero enjoyed a perfect outing after he converted on each of his three field goal attempts and both PATs. Putting Wagner on the scoreboard and sparking a 13-0 run with a 37-yarder with 1:45 left in the first half, Romero converted on a season-long 44 yard field goal with 10:56 left in the third to pull the Seahawks within four. He also split kickoff duties on the afternoon, booting his lone attempt a season-best 63 yards. Romero is the first player this season to pull off the NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Special Teams Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week double this season.
