JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The United Athletic Conference (UAC) has announced its weekly football awards for the week of Nov. 2 with Abilene Christian, North Alabama, and Tarleton State taking honors.
Abilene Christian quarterback Tucker Parks earned this week’s Offensive Player of the Week following a career-high 272 passing yards with four total touchdowns scored in the Wildcats’ dominating win over West Georgia. The junior signal-caller finished the game 19-for-29 in the air with three scores while adding in eight carries for 28 yards and a touchdown of his own.
Parks’ teammate, Jacoby Davis, took this week’s Defensive Player of the Week honor after recording six tackles with 2.0 tackles for loss and a sack against West Georgia. The cornerback out of Houston, Texas also added in an interception and a forced fumble.
Tarleton State’s Charlie Mullen snagged Specialist of the Week after having two punts that covered 80 yards with one landing inside the 20-yard line. The fifth-year punter recorded a 56-yard punt that pinned EKU inside its own 8-yard line in the Texans’ 28-24 win over the Colonels.
Xavier Johnson grabbed his fifth Freshman of the Week award after he caught four passes for 66 yards in North Alabama’s win over Central Arkansas. The Fort Worth, Texas native added in 15 rushing yards and moved into the top-10 for all-time single season receiving yards for the Lions.
