WEEK 3 NEC 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),...Last Week's Stats: 23-35 completions, 180 passing yards, 3 passing TDs, 0 interceptions,...Duffy became the first player this season to take home multiple NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Offensive Player of the Week awards as the junior previously earned the distinction following New Haven's first-ever game as a Division I program last month. The Floridian piloted the Chargers to a 24-17 win - their first as a Division I member - at CAA opponent UAlbany on Saturday after he threw for 180 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Following a field goal on New Haven's first possession, Duffy went to work and led his team to touchdowns on their next three drives, including a 12-yard pass to Matt Chandler, a three-yard dish to Evan Chieca and a 21-yarder to Nikkem Reynolds. Those scores put New Haven up by a comfortable 24-0 cushion with 5:01 left in the first half. Duffy, who leads the league with 125 pass attempts, is tied for first in the conference stats with six touchdowns. - NEC Football

The rookie running back netted 67 all-purpose yards on Saturday to help propel the Lakers past NEC newcomer New Haven by a commanding 48-14 final. A native of Canton, OH, Gamble was Mercyhurst's second leading rusher on the afternoon with 53 yards on 10 carries. He contributed 23 yards on the ground - including a big 15-yard gain on the opening play of a third-quarter 54-yard drive that resulted in the Lakers' sixth touchdown of the day. Later in the quarter, Gamble strung together back-to-back 10-yard rushes to fuel another scoring drive - an 11-play series - that began on Mercyhurst's own 22-yard line. He added 14 receiving yards on one catch in the win. - NEC Football

09/23/25 - K Jayson Jenkins, rSr/2026, Robert Morris + More +

WEEK 2 NEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jayson Jenkins, Robert Morris, Punter/Kicker, Gr, 5-11, 180 lbs., Monroeville, PA/Gateway, Last Week's Stats: 6 punts, 253 punting yards, 42.2 yards per punt, 52-yard long, 1 inside-20, 1 TB, 4 kickoffs, 259 kickoff yards, 64.8 yards per kickoff, 1 TB, 1-1 FG (46 yards)...Jenkins ran it back as the NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Special Teams Player of the Week after a busy - and impressive - Saturday at Youngstown State. The versatile left-footed kicker/punter averaged 42.2 yards per punt and 64.8 yards per kickoff after launching the ball 253 and 259 yards, respectively. Registering a 52-yard long punt while placing one inside the 20-yard marker, Jenkins was perfect in his lone field goal attempt, a 46-yarder that went down as a career-best boot for the graduate student.

A local product of Monroeville, PA, he became the first NEC player to repeat as the league's Special Teams Player of the Week since LIU's Will Lynch closed out the 2022 campaign with back-to-back honors. In addition, Jenkins is the first Robert Morris special teams' member to turn the weekly award trick in consecutive weeks since Dante Satcher accomplished the feat in 2015. On the season, Jenkins, who has converted on each of his two field goal attempts, is averaging 41.5 yards per punt to rank fifth in the league. - NEC Football

09/23/25 - OLB Rafael Fasolino, rSr/2027, Long Island U. + More +

WEEK 2 NEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Rafael Fasolino, LIU, Linebacker, Graduate Student, 6-0, Montrose, NY/Archbishop Stepniac, Last Week's Stats: 8 tackles (5 solo), 1 pass breakup...Fasolino balled out on defense at Eastern Michigan on Saturday, and thanks to his clutch performance, LIU made history by scoring the program's first-ever victory over a FBS squad. In addition, the 28-23 defeat of the Eagles marked the fourth FCS-over-FBS win of the 2025 campaign, and the third in NEC history. Fasolino registered eight total tackles, including five solo stops, and added one pass breakup for the Sharks.

Six of the Montrose, NY native's tackles came in a second half that saw LIU preserve its 14-10 halftime lead and hold on for the wire-to-wire win. Highlighting that stretch was a huge tackle on an Eagles' 4th-and-1 that forced a turnover on downs deep in Eastern Michigan territory in the final quarter. That stop resulted in a 14-yard rushing touchdown run by Sharks' signal caller Luca Stanzani on the first play of the ensuing drive that extended the visiting team's lead to 21-10 with 12:11 remaining on the clock. Fasolino ranks fifth in the NEC in tackles (17), while his 4.0 tackles-for-loss are tops in the league. - NEC Football

WEEK 2 NEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Luca Stanzani, LIU, Quarterback, Redshirt Junior, 5-11, Clearwater, FL/Clearwater Academy International,...Last Week's Stats: 12-18 completions (66.7 completion percentage), 143 passing yards, 0 interceptions, 10 rushes, 69 rushing yards, 6.9 yards per carry, 2 rushing TDs, 1 reception, 74 receiving yards...With starting quarterback Ethan Greenwood going down in the first half with an injury at Eastern Michigan on Saturday, Stanzani, a redshirt junior, answered the call and piloted LIU to the program's first-ever win over an FBS squad. Entering the game with a 14-10 lead at the 7:19 mark of the second quarter thanks to a pair of rushing scores from Greenwood, the Floridian followed in the footsteps of his fellow signal caller and ran for two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to secure the win for the Sharks.

His first score came after LIU's defense forced a pivotal turnover on downs on a 4th-and-1 on the Eagles' 14-yard line. On the first play of the ensuing drive, Stanzani ran into the end zone untouched to extend the lead to 21-10 with 12:12 to go. Later in the stanza, he capped a 75-yard, 16-play drive that chewed up 9:44 of game time with a two-yard rushing touchdown to make it a 28-16 lead heading into the final 1:56. In the Sharks' 28-23 win, Stanzani showed off his versatility by going 12-of-18 for 143 passing yards while adding 69 rushing yards on 10 carries and a 74-yard reception. This is the first NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Offensive Player of the Week award for Stanzani, who was a three-time NEC Rookie of the Week honoree in 2022. - NEC Football
