WEEK 6 SOCON OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Taron Dickens, R-So., QB, Western Carolina, Miami, Fla.,...Dickens, who also won the honor on Sept. 22, set an NCAA passing record in Western Carolina's 23-21 road win at Wofford on Saturday. The native of Miami, Florida, threw for 378 yards, completing 53-of-56 passes, including connecting on his first 46 attempts, and three touchdowns. Dickens also ran for 44 yards in the contest. The 46 straight completions to begin the game established a new NCAA record for consecutive pass completions in a game at all levels of competition - NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III. The previous record was 28, set in 2013 by Princeton's Quinn Epperly. Dickens' 53 completions also set the school record for completions in a game, breaking Troy Mitchell's mark of 46, which was set in 2014 at USF. Dickens was named the Stats Perform FCS National Player of the Week on Monday. On Saturday, he was featured on a segment on ESPN's SportsCenter and College Football Final, receiving a helmet sticker for his play against the Terriers. Other nominees: Devontae Houston (ETSU), Trey Hedden (Furman), Braden Atkinson (Mercer), Samuel Pickett III (Samford), Justus Durant (Chattanooga), and Noah Grevious (VMI). - SoCon Football

10/14/25 - CB Joel Kpassou, Sr/2027, Missouri State + More +

WEEK 7 NEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Joel Kpassou, Duquesne, Defensive Back, Junior, 5-10, 170 lbs., Cleveland, OH/Solon (Findlay),...Week 7 Stats: 94-yard return for touchdown on opening kickoff,...Kpassou set the tone in Duquesne's 52-7 win over visiting Saint Francis on Saturday. Returning the game's opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, the junior helped the Dukes jump out to their largest halftime lead against an FCS team in program history, a 45-0 advantage. The kickoff return touchdown was Duquesne's first since Xavier Nelson turned the trick on an 82-yard return at Central Connecticut on Nov. 16, 2016. In addition, it was the first to start a game for the Dukes since Oct. 25, 2014 (Devin Rahming - 97 yards vs. Alderson Broaddus), and the only kickoff return touchdown in the NEC this season. Improving to 2-0 in the conference for the third time in as many seasons, last year's defending NEC co-champ has knocked off six-straight conference opponents at home in a streak that dates back to the 2024 campaign. Kpassou is the first Duke to garner NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Special Teams Player of the Week honors this season. - NEC Football
