WEEK 5 NEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jadon Turner, Central Connecticut, Return Specialist/Running Back, Graduate Student, 5-9, 170, Rochester, NY/Irondequoit (Stony Brook),...Last Week's Stats: 160 kickoff return yards (38-yard long), 5 kickoff return, 32.0 yards per kickoff return...Turner tacked on even more kickoff return yards to his league-leading count on Saturday after he covered 160 yards on five returns in a heartbreaking 35-28 defeat to Dartmouth. With that total yardage, which marked the fourth-most by an FCS return specialist in a game this season, the Rochester, NY native boosted his season total to 280 yards, a number that ranks 10th in the nation.

In the opening quarter, Turner ran a punt that was caught on Central Connecticut's six-yard line 26 yards to set up a nine-play, 68-yard touchdown drive that gave the Blue Devils a 14-7 advantage over the Big Green. Later in the game, the graduate student logged a 38-yard kickoff return that currently stands as the fifth-longest by an NEC player this year. The Preseason All-NEC return specialist is averaging 28.0 kickoff return yards per game to rank second in the conference. This is the first NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Special Teams Player of the Week award of 2025, and the second of his career, for the 2024 All-NEC second teamer. - NEC Football

SEPT 22 IVY LEAGUE OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jaden Craig, Harvard,...A native of Montclair, Craig completed 24 of his 31 pass attempts for 317 yards and a career-high-matching four touchdowns (21 yards, 16 yards, 44 yards, 1 yard) against a Bears defense that allowed zero points the week before. His passing yardage and completion total, meanwhile, were season bests. Craig, who also rushed once for six yards, was nearly perfect in the first half against Brown, passing for 228 yards on 18-for-21 passing and three touchdowns. The performance guided the Crimson to an insurmountable 34-7 halftime lead.

As a result of Harvard's 2-0 start, the Crimson entered the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 Poll this morning, checking in at No. 25. It marks the fourth straight campaign that Harvard has appeared the Stats Perform poll. On the season, Craig has completed 34 of his 44 passing attempts for 525 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions. The senior's effort through two games has easily surpassed his production from his first two games of 2024, when he was 24-for-43 passing with five touchdowns, one interception and 395 yards. - Harvard Football

09/30/25 - RB Julien Stokes, Sr/2026, Pennsylvania + More +

SEPT 22 IVY LEAGUE SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Julien Stokes, Penn,...For the second consecutive week, senior return specialist Julien Stokes had himself a heck of an afternoon on special teams for the University of Pennsylvania football team and earned himself Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time this season, announced by the Ivy League office on Monday afternoon. He's just the 11th player in program history to earn an Ivy weekly award in back-to-back weeks and the first on special teams.

At Lehigh on Saturday, Stokes returned four kicks for 133 yards, including a 60-yarder that set up a go-ahead touchdown early in the third quarter. He now has six kick returns for 193 yards to begin the 2025 season to go along with his four punt returns for 82 yards and a score. The Newbury Park, Calif. native enters the third week of the regular season quite literally the best (statistically) return specialist in NCAA FCS football, ranking first in both punt returns (20.5 yards per attempt) and all-purpose yards (206.5). Additionally, Stokes ranks eighth in kickoff return yards per attempt (32.2). - Penn Football

09/30/25 - OLB Qua Russaw, rJr/2028, Ohio State + More +

No. 10 Alabama will be without starting outside linebacker Qua Russaw for "an extended period" with a broken foot, coach Kalen DeBoer said Monday. The sophomore suffered the injury early in a 24-21 win at Georgia on Saturday and was scheduled for surgery this week. He played just eight snaps against the Bulldogs, according to Pro Football Focus. "He won't be out for the season, but it will be an extended period of time," DeBoer said.

Compounding injury issues at the position, senior linebacker Jah-Marien Latham has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. Latham, who was in his sixth and final year of college eligibility, suffered a neck injury in practice last week. It's unclear if he will pursue a medical redshirt, DeBoer said. "Jah-Marien will recover fully," DeBoer said. "That's the main thing in the big picture of everything. But unfortunately won't be back this season." The expectation now is that sophomore Yhonzae Pierre will start at home against 16th-ranked Vanderbilt on Saturday. He has been a productive rotational player through four games, ranking second on the team in tackles for loss and recording four tackles against Georgia. - AP College Football

09/30/25 - QB Tyler Riddell, rSr/2026, Duquesne + More +

WEEK 5 NEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tyler Riddell, Duquesne, Quarterback, Graduate Student, 6-1, 190, Tampa, FL/Chamberlain (Gardner-Webb)...Last Week's Stats: 15-23 completions, 201 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 0 interceptions, 63 rushing yards, 8 carries, 7.9 yards per carry, 2 rushing touchdowns...Riddell was the ringleader of a Duquesne offense that put up seven touchdowns and scored 44 points in a 26-point win over New Haven on Saturday. The graduate signal caller accounted for five of the Dukes' scores after he threw for three touchdowns and rushed for two more. It marked Ridell's second five-touchdown outing this season as earlier this month, the Floridian threw for five scores against Lincoln on Sept. 6. Against the Chargers, he completed 15-of-23 passes for 201 yards and zero picks while adding a career-high 63 rushing yards on eight carries.

After New Haven opened the game with a score, Riddell connected with Joey Isabella on three consecutive drives for touchdown passes of two, six and 61 yards to make it a 28-6 lead in the third quarter. It marked his third game this season - and ninth of his career that also features stops at Gardner-Webb and ETSU - with three-or-more touchdown passes. Later in the game, he padded Duquesne's lead with touchdown runs of 10 and eight yards. Averaging 171.4 passing yards per game, Riddell is second in the NEC with 11 touchdown passes. This is his first career weekly award from the NEC. - NEC Football
