10/21/25 - WR Jared Richardson, rSr/2027, Duke + More +

OCT 20 IVY LEAGUE OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jared Richardson, Penn,...The award is the fourth of Richardson's career, now tied with Chris Flynn '87 for the third-most in a career. It's also the first time in history that two different Penn players won a weekly award in consecutive weeks in the same season. Julien Stokes was named Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week in three straight weeks to begin the current campaign.

Richardson put together another special performance in Penn's 35-21 victory at Columbia on Saturday, leading the team in receiving once again with six catches for 158 yards and a career-high tying three touchdown grabs. He's the first player in Penn's 149-year history to have three career games of three touchdowns. Most notably, his 31-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter pushed him over the 2,000-yard mark for his career, becoming just the sixth player in program history to reach the milestone. Richardson also registered a 76-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter, the longest catch of his career and Penn's longest catch since the 2018 season. Richardson has gone over the 100-yard mark in four of his five games this season, putting himself over the 150-yard threshold in back-to-back contests. He enters Week 6 leading NCAA FCS football in receiving yards per game 125.6) and is second in receptions per game (8.20) and third in receiving touchdowns (8). - Penn Football

In addition to registering the most field goals by a Duke since 2022, the Easton, PA native's three field goal makes were tied for the most by an NEC kicker in a game this season and they were the most made against a Division I opponent. Clark had a busy day for the Dukes in the big win, as he also handled the team's kickoff duties. He registered four touchbacks on seven kickoffs and totaled 429 kickoff yards in the contest. Clark is the second Duquesne player in as many weeks to earn NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Special Teams Player of the Week honors this year as Joel Kpassou took home the honor last week. - NEC Football

WEEK 8 NEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Avery Morris, Duquesne, Linebacker, Graduate Student, 6-2, 230 lbs., Humble, TX/Atascocita (UTSA/Charlotte),Week 8 Stats: 9 tackles (5 solo), 1 fumble recovery for touchdown (35 yards),...Morris was the centerpiece of a dominant defensive performance by Duquesne in Saturday's battle of the unbeatens at Mercyhurst in Erie. The graduate linebacker balled out for the Dukes, who blanked the Lakers and improved to 3-0 in NEC play with a commanding 37-0 triumph. The shutout marked Duquesne's first against an NEC foe since 2023, when the eventual NEC champs handed Sacred Heart a 27-0 loss. Morris' stat line included nine tackles, five of which were solo stops, and his second defensive touchdown of the season, a 35-yard scoop and score that put the Dukes up by a 27-0 count at halftime. In addition, the transfer from Charlotte and UTSA anchored a defense that limited Mercyhurst to just 118 total yards of offense and 12 rushing yards while forcing seven three-and-outs on the evening. Morris became the second Duke in the past three weeks to take home NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Defensive Player of the Week accolades, as Tyson Meiguez earned the distinction on Oct. 6. - NEC Football

That total was the program's highest since 2018 and the most by an NEC squad this season against Division I competition.

10/21/25 - WR Bryant Wesco Jr., Jr/2028, Clemson + More +

Clemson leading receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. will miss the rest of the season after sustaining a back injury against SMU this past weekend. Coach Dabo Swinney said Monday that Wesco had a "very serious" back injury but did not disclose more details. Wesco was injured on a punt return, when he landed almost directly on his head/neck area after a low tackle sent him somersaulting in the air upside down. Though he got up and walked to the sideline on his own, he never returned to the field and was taken to the hospital in Greenville, South Carolina, for further evaluation. Swinney said Wesco was released from the hospital Monday and was resting at home, and that the injury could have been far worse. "It was a very, very scary injury, and the doctors did an amazing job," Swinney said in a teleconference with local reporters. "The doctors are very confident he'll make a full recovery. Definitely something that'll keep him out the rest of this season, but thankful that all indications are he's going to be OK. Just a real blessing for that." Wesco leads Clemson with 31 catches for 537 yards and six touchdowns. He thanked those who sent him prayers on his Instagram stories Monday. - ESPN College Football
