The Week 7 honorees and honorable mention selections:
HBCU FCS National Player of the Week
Jordan Franklin, South Carolina State, LB, R-So., 6-2, 205
Franklin was in on six tackles, including 3.5 for loss that totaled 32 yards, and he forced two turnovers in the fourth quarter as South Carolina State won 22-16 at North Carolina A&T. The Bulldogs trailed in the final quarter when Franklin sacked N.C. A&T quarterback Kevin White, forcing a fumble and recovering it at the Aggies’ 9. It set up the Bulldogs for a go-ahead score, which Franklin later helped cement with an interception in his team’s end zone. He also had one pass breakup in the first quarter.
Honorable Mention: Andrew Body, QB, Alabama State; Quincy Ivory, DE, Jackson State; James Jones, RB, Delaware State; Cam’Ron Ransom, QB, Bethune-Cookman
HBCU FCS National Team of the Week
Texas Southern (21-20 win at Grambling State)
Texas Southern had just one win in its last 12 road games in the SWAC series before putting a damper on Grambling’s Homecoming Day. Athean Renfro rushed for 152 yards, including a 60-yard touchdown, and cornerback Edric Whitley had nine tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery. The visitors forced four turnovers, including defensive tackle Damarcus Thompson’s fumble recovery at the TSU 4 with just 5:40 left to play. Coach Cris Dishman’s squad (3-3, 3-1 SWAC) then ran out the rest of the game clock.
Honorable Mention: Bethune-Cookman (45-14 win over Southern)
