We’re handling our CFB Player of the Week selections a little differently this year with the responsibility for making the selections falling squarely on my shoulders.
I do my best to be objective each week, basing my picks on comparative performances and stats, but if you think I’m missing something, or maybe some bias has slipped in, feel free to let me know on Twitter.
This week’s player picks were clear standouts at their positions.
So without further ado, here are my Week Five picks for SuperWest Players of the Week for Offense, Defense, and Special Teams as well as Offensive and Defensive Freshmen.
Offensive Player of the Week: DTR, QB, UCLA
DTR threw for 315 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
He also rushed for a touchdown, breaking two Huskies in the process.
Defensive Player of the Week: Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah
Along with the touchdown, Phillips added a one-handed interception to his highlight reel.
Offensive Freshman of the Week: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
McMillan also made a one-handed catch or two.
Defensive Freshman of the Week: Micah Harper, DB, BYU
Micah Harper had an impressive outing against Utah State finishing with ten tackles, one forced fumble, and one pass breakup.
Special Teams Player of the Week: Atticus Sappington (Ore St)
Honorable Mention
Offensive: Jayden de Laura, QB, Arizona
Defensive: DJ Schramm, LB, Boise State
Special Teams: Nikko Remigio, R, Fresno State
