NATIONAL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Trae Self, Stephen F. Austin, QB, Jr., 6-4, 190, North Richland Hills, Texas

Self completed 32 of 39 passes (82.1 percent) for 346 yards and five touchdowns as Stephen F. Austin beat Abilene Christian 41-27 in the schools’ growing rivalry. His TDs went for 15, 30, 7, 8 and 73 yards, giving him 11 with only one interception in three career games against Abilene. Add in 42 rushing yards and Self finished with a career-high 388 yards of total offense.

Davis, RB, Norfolk State; Aaron Dawson, RB, Central Connecticut State; Jett Duffey, QB, Hampton; Steven Duncan, QB, Tarleton; Naril Gaither, RB, Gardner-Webb; Isaiah Hill, WR, Eastern Illinois; Cole Johnson, QB, James Madison; Seth Morgan, QB, VMI; Eric Schmid, QB, Sam Houston; Jason Shelley, QB, Missouri State; Pierre Strong Jr., RB, South Dakota State; Raphael Williams, WR, Western Carolina

NATIONAL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Eyabi Anoma, UT Martin, DE/LB, R-So., 6-6, 270, Baltimore

Anoma’s clutch play helped UT Martin edge Austin Peay 17-16 to maintain first place in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Alabama transfer had eight tackles (five solos), including 4.5 for 23 yards in losses and 1.5 sacks. His biggest play was a block of the Governors’ potential go-ahead field goal attempt in the final seconds. Anoma’s TFLs were the most by a UTM player since 2013 and in the OVC since 2018.

NATIONAL SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Rashid Shaheed, Weber State, WR/RS, Sr., 6-0, 180, San Diego

Shaheed set the FCS career record with his seventh kickoff return for a touchdown, scoring on a 98-yarder in the Wildcats’ 40-17, Big Sky victory at Idaho State. His second kickoff return score this season broke his tie with Hampton’s Jerome Mathis, who had six TD returns from 2001-04. Shaheed had 202 combined return yards and caught a 36-yard TD pass as part of his career-high 290 all-purpose yards.

Honorable Mention: Devin Bale, P, Northern Colorado; Nick Bisceglia, PK, Robert Morris; Devron Harper, WR/RS, Mercer; Zach Haynes, P, Southeast Missouri; Josh McNeeley, RS, Campbell; Ben Niesner, P, Valparaiso; Scotty Roblow, P, Northwestern State; Tyler Pastula, P, Delaware; Melvin Rouse II, WR/PR, Yale

UNI (5-3) beat a top 10 team for the second consecutive week and, incredibly, the 42nd time since 1985. The Panthers, who won at South Dakota State a week earlier, overcame a 13-3 deficit, going ahead for the first time 20-16 on Theo Day’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Fourtenbary late in the third quarter. Matthew Cook kicked three field goals, while defensive end Caden Houghtelling had a fumble recovery and an interception.
