RS-Sophomore | Running Back | Leo, Ind.
Weather was the only thing that could stop Kacsor, who put forth a PFL-best 244-yard rushing performance in Dayton’s 40-8 weather-shortened PFL victory against Davidson, Saturday. He finished the game with 26 carries and two touchdowns despite the game being called with half of the fourth quarter remaining. It was the second-best rushing performance in Dayton history and the sixth best outing in the FCS this season. Kacsor averaged 9.4 yards per rush with five carries going for more than 20 yards each. It is the second consecutive week a PFL runner went for 200 yards after Butler’s Trae Heeter ran for 222 yards last week.

Other Players Nominated: Trae Heeter (BUT), Brian Hudson (CAM), Andy Rice (DRA), Brent Leneghan (MAR), Austin Gahafer (MOR), Mason Mills (SAN)

RS-Senior | Defensive End | Nyack, N.Y.
Fede had a team-best eight tackles, including two tackles for loss, to help lead Marist in a 37-0 PFL victory against Valparaiso, Saturday. It was Marist’s first shutout since blanking Valparaiso during the 2009 campaign. Fede had a solo sack that forced a fumble and ended a Valparaiso drive and was credited with two sack assists to account for his two total tackles for loss. He also was credited unofficially with four quarterback hurries.

Senior | Running Back | San Diego, Calif.
James set the tone early with a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in San Diego’s 45-13 PFL victory against previously unbeaten Mercer. He was given just one opportunity to return a kickoff and he made it pay off with the 95-yard return of the opening boot, giving San Diego a lead it would not relinquish. He would tack on a 50-yard touchdown run from scrimmage to cap the day’s scoring – part of a 181 all-purpose yardage outing.

Other Players Nominated: Jon Treloar (BUT), William Wil (DAY), Jesse Signa (MAR)
