CHICAGO, Ill. - Marist running back Amin Woods tied a program record with 38 carries and ran for 232 yards to earn FedEx Ground FCS National Offensive Player of the Week Monday by Stats Perform.

After Woods rushed for a 67-yard touchdown on Marist’s first play from scrimmage, the Red Foxes kept feeding the ball to him, and he carried it 38 times for 232 yards in a 34-24 victory over Stetson in the Pioneer Football League. He became their first 200-yard rusher since 2008 and matched the program’s single-game record for carries. He also had a 12-yard reception to double up his previous high in yards from scrimmage with 244.

It is the first time this season a PFL student-athlete earns FedEx Ground FCS National Offensive Player of the Week honors.
