RAYMOND SETS EYES ON PFL RECEPTIONS MARK | Morehead State slot receiver Jake Raymond has focused his attention on the PFL’s career receptions mark. He enters this week’s action with 251 career receipts, second among FCS active career leaders. Raymond seeks to break the record of 254 career receptions set by Butler’s Zach Watkins (2008-11).

HATTERS MAKE SPORTSCENTER TOP 10 | Stetson’s overtime blocked field goal return for a touchdown landed the No. 3 spot on SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays, Oct. 22. The 87-yard dash was one of the longest in NCAA FCS history, just shy of the record 90-yard blocked field goal return by Delaware against William & Mary in 2012. Senior Donald Payne blocked the field goal try, his FCS leading third blocked kick this season.

NO FLY ZONE | Dayton moved to the top of the FCS leader board in passes intercepted, notching its 13th and 14th picks against Butler in Week 8. The Flyers, who are tied with Saint Francis (Pa.), have three players – David Leisring, Christian Searles and Cameron Stubbs – ranked among the FCS Top 15 in interceptions per game.

JONES SECOND PFL 200-YARD RUSHER IN ‘16 | Morehead State freshman running back Trevor Jones became the PFL’s second 200-yard rusher this season. His 284-yard outing against Jacksonville in Week 8 was the best rushing performance in the PFL since 2014 (Dayton’s Connor Kacsor, 301 yards) and was only 29 yards shy of the PFL record set in 1996.

EAGLE’S BENNETT TACKLES 20 | Morehead State Ryan Bennett was credited with 20 tackles in the Week 8 contest against Jacksonville, becoming the first PFL defender with 20 tackles since 2015 (Drake’s John Hugunin, 20 tackles).

LIVING IN THE BACKFIELD | Stetson’s defense leads all FCS units with 10.6 team tackles for loss per game this season. The Hatters have posted 10 or tackles for loss in five of their seven games this season, including 16 tackles for loss against Jacksonville, Sept. 24. Stetson’s Jeb Boudreaux leads all FCS tacklers with 2.4 tackles for loss per game this season.

NO GRAY AREA | Jacksonville’s Henderson Gray has become the FCS’ top threat on punt returns, entering Week 9 ranked No. 1 with 21.8 yards per return. He broke off a 70-yard punt return for a go-ahead touchdown at Morehead State in Week 8, his second punt return this season on the FCS’ longest punt return listing.
