Miller finished with six tackles, one interception and three pass breakups, making his presence felt throughout the afternoon in the secondary. His biggest play came late in the second quarter with Lock Haven trailing 21-7. Miller intercepted Clarion quarterback Jase Ferguson and returned the pick 18 yards, setting the Bald Eagles up in plus territory. Lock Haven capitalized immediately, scoring a touchdown on the ensuing possession to cut the deficit to 21-14 and ignite a comeback that ultimately ended in a walk-off victory.
PSAC Western Division Special Teams Athlete of the Week
Nate Baker
Edinboro
Kicker
Sophomore
Nazareth, Pa. / Nazareth
Baker, normally the kickoff specialist, hit a 51-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter to tie the game and send the Scots to overtime with No. 9 IUP. It was the fourth-longest field goal in Edinboro history and the longest field goal by a Fighting Scot since the year 2000. It was the third longest field goal in the PSAC this season.
PSAC Eastern Division Athlete of the Week
Ajani Walker
East Stroudsburg
Running Back
Senior
York, Pa. / Central York
Walker led the ESU rushing attack with 154 of the team's 318 yards on the ground as the Warriors defeated West Chester, 27-13. Walker scored one touchdown and had a second called back, breaking off an 82-yard run as ESU was pinned on its own goal line, as he averaged just over 10 yards per carry on 15 attempts. The York native's 154 rushing yards were the most by a Warrior since 2019, becoming the first ESU player to record over 150 yards on the ground since Devante Robinson ran for 177 in the season finale against Clarion.
PSAC Eastern Division Defensive Athlete of the Week
Reggie Snowden
Shepherd
Defensive Back
Junior
Frederick, Md. / Frederick
Snowden recorded three tackles (two solos) and a pair of interceptions in Shepherd's win over Millersville. His second interception of the game came in the end zone in front of a Marauder receiver and prevented a would-be Millerville score.
PSAC Eastern Division Special Teams Athlete of the Week
Noah Micks
Kutztown
WR
Sophomore
Newark, Del. / Salesianum
Micks turned his first career kick return into a 93-yard touchdown during No. 3 Kutztown's 59-7 victory at Shippensburg, Saturday. Micks, who did not see action in 2025 as a true freshman, has worked in on special teams early in 2026. The Newark, Del., native answered the Raiders' only score by returning the ensuing kick 93 yards for a TD midway through the fourth that put the Golden Bears ahead 52-7. The kick return TD was Kutztown's first since Lenniek Preston took one back 100 yards against Gannon, Sept. 20, 2025.
