NORFOLK, Va. – North Carolina Central University wide receiver Jacen Murphy was selected as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Offensive Player of the Week, the conference announced today. Bethune-Cookman defensive lineman Todney Evans was named MEAC Defensive Player of the Week while North Carolina Central’s Nick Leverett received Offensive Lineman of the Week honors. North Carolina Central quarterback Chauncey Caldwell earned Rookie of the Week honors while Florida A&M placekicker Yahia Aly was tabbed as the Specialist of the Week.

JACEN MURPHY
NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL
WR
5-10, 190, SR.

Murphy recorded 10 receptions for 189 yards and two touchdowns against Delaware State on Saturday. His 189 receiving yards ranks as the top single game performance in the MEAC this season and the most receiving yardage since 2015. It was also the most yardage by an Eagle in 27 years, and his 10 catches ties for fifth in NCCU history.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
TODNEY EVANS
BETHUNE-COOKMAN
DL
6-2, 222, R-JR.
DELRAY BEACH, FLA.

Evans amassed a team-best seven tackles over the weekend in a big MEAC win over previously league-unbeaten Hampton. He totaled seven tackles as well as collecting a season-high two quarterback sacks. He also broke up a pair of passes for the Wildcats, tying for the game high in that department.

OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK
NICK LEVERETT
NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL
T
6-4, 300, R-SO.
CONCORD, N.C.

Leverett played 69 snaps as the Eagles amassed 401 yards of total offense in a 42-14 win over Delaware State. He graded out at 91 percent with six pancake blocks and no sacks allowed.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
CHAUNCEY CALDWELL

6-2, 225, FR.
DURHAM, N.C.

SPECIALIST OF THE WEEK
YAHIA ALI

PK
6-0, 200, JR.
OSCEOLA, IA.
