Ryans was clutch in special teams, nailing a 28-yard field goal in the third quarter to extend Tuskegee's lead and maintain team momentum in the second half. Additionally, Ryans was perfect on extra-point attempts, converting 3-for-3 to contribute to the team's total score. His performance played a significant role in the Golden Tigers' fifth consecutive victory, pushing them to 5-3 overall and 5-1 in SIAC play.
NEWCOMER OF THE WEEK – TIANT WYCHE, ALBANY STATE UNIVERSITY
