NORFOLK, Virginia -- In the closest vote yet seen, North Carolina A&T State's Malik Wilson won the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Fan's Play of the Week for Week 10, thanks to his outstanding performance on special teams this past Saturday. Florida A&M, meanwhile, swept the Fans' Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week awards.
Rattlers quarterback Ryan Stanley was the fans' choice for Offensive Player of the Week, while the fans tabbed linebacker Elijah Richardson as their Defensive Player of the Week.
Late in the third quarter of Saturday's game in Greensboro, N.C., Norfolk State had cut the Aggies' lead to 21-20 after a 25-yard field goal from Josh Nardone. But Wilson took the ensuing kickoff at the 1-yard line, running to high right and breaking through a tackle before cutting back to the left and speeding toward the end zone.
Ninety-nine yards later, the Aggies led 27-20 en route to a 37-20 victory.
Stanley went 23-for-41 through the air in this past Saturday's showdown against Howard, completing 56 percent of his passes and racking up 272 yards. He also had two touchdowns for the Rattlers.
Richardson had eight total tackles against the Bison, six of which were solo stops. Three of those tackles were for loss.
