OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – JHAYDON SULLIVAN, SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – JALIL LENORE, CENTRAL STATE UNIVERSITY

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK – LORCAN RYANS, TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY
Kicker | Sophomore | Limerick, Ireland
Ryans had an impressive performance in the Golden Tigers' 38-24 victory over Kentucky State. Ryans was flawless in his kicking duties, converting all five extra-point attempts and hitting a critical 43-yard field goal to extend Tuskegee's lead in the second quarter. His consistency and ability to handle pressure have made him a valuable asset to the Golden Tigers. He also played a crucial role in the field position battle with well-placed punts. Ryans' efforts were vital in securing the team's fourth consecutive win and improving their SIAC record to 4-1.
NEWCOMER OF THE WEEK – KEITH GREEN, MILES COLLEGE
Linebacker | Freshman | Hueytown, Ala.
Green continued to impress during his first season with the Golden Bears. In Saturday's 49-28 win over Clark Atlanta, the freshman defensive lineman had three tackles, two sacks (for 13 yards), a forced fumble that led to a Miles touchdown, a pass breakup, and a quarterback hurry.
