  2023 NEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: WR Donovan Wadley, Merrimack, So,...A lethal blend of speed, grit and explosiveness coupled with a keen sense of field awareness made Wadley one of the most versatile and valuable performers in the league this season. He became the first wide receiver to garner the Offensive Player of the Year honor since Saint Francis U's Kamron Lewis in 2016, but simply calling Wadley a wideout does not paint the full picture. Wadley did it all for an explosive Merrimack offense. He shredded defenses to the tune of 26 catches for 471 yards and five touchdowns. The 5-foot-9 Garden State product ranks in the NEC top-10 in receiving yards (8th), touchdowns (t-3rd), yards per catch (18.1, 6th) and yards per game (42.8, 8th).

Drawing parallels to NFL All-Pro Alvin Kamara, Wadley showcased his versatility by rushing for 216 yards and three scores, while also making a significant impact as a return specialist. He currently leads the nation in two special teams categories, and is third in another. He ranks first with three kick returns for touchdowns and an astronomical 37.9 yards per return, while his 645 kickoff return yards, which are the most by a conference player in nearly half a decade, are good for third in the FCS. Three of the longest kickoff returns on the FCS charts this season have Wadley's name inked next to them, as he is the only specialist in the entire nation to have three returns of 90-or-more yards. - Northeast Conference Football

  Gavin McCusker threw three touchdown passes to Pat Conroy and Merrimack beat Central Connecticut 20-14 on Saturday for its seventh straight win. Merrimack (8-2, 6-0) will host St. Francis (PA), which is also 6-0 in the Northeast Conference, for the conference title next Saturday. Nasir Smith ran for a 1-yard touchdown that capped a 17-play, 82-yard opening drive. Smith finished with 148 yards rushing and is the 16th player at Central Connecticut to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.

The senior finished with 1,001 yards. Maurice Nelson returned the ensuing kickoff 67 yards to give Merrimack the ball on the CCSU 18-yard line. McCusker found Conroy in the end zone six plays later for a 10-yard score. McCusker and Conroy connected twice more in the fourth quarter. Kyle Zajack scored on a 1-yard run for the Blue Devils with 20 seconds left, but Merrimack recovered the ensuing onside kick. Central Connecticut (1-9, 1-5) will look to end a two-game skid in its season finale against Stonehill. - Merrimack/AP College Football

Ty Edmonds Jr.'s 24-yard scoring run with 8:31 left in the third knotted it a 10. Stonehill (3-3, 1-3) had 20 first downs to 10 for Merrimack, outgained the Warriors in total yards 290-213 and held the ball 34:15 to 25:45 in time of possession. Victor Dawson ran for 83 yards and Edmonds 66 for the Skyhawks. - Merrimack/AP College Football

The redshirt-freshman signal caller compiled 179 all-purpose yards - including 124 in the air and 55 on the ground - to lead the Warriors to their fifth straight win and the program's first-ever 4-0 start in NEC play since joining the league in 2019. After a 28-yard run from Victor Dawson put Merrimack on the scoreboard in the first, McCusker doubled the Warriors' lead to 14-0 when he linked up with Pat Conroy for a 20-yard pass with 12:18 left in the second quarter.
