Three Golden Bulls earned CIAA Player of the Week

CHARLOTTE - Three Golden Bulls of  Johnson C. Smith University football team have earned Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) weekly honors for week four, the league announced Monday afternoon.
 
Quarterback – Kelvin Durham, Johnson C. Smith 
Durham delivered a masterful performance, bouncing back in a huge way to lead Johnson C. Smith's explosive offensive outburst. The Golden Bulls' signal-caller was nearly flawless, connecting on 18 of 22 passes for 297 yards and four touchdowns in the 69-13 victory over Bluefield State. Durham showed his big-play ability with a 65-yard strike while also keeping the offense efficient and balanced. His command of the game fueled JCSU's offensive rhythm from start to finish. 
 
Special Teams – Lukasz Smolen, Johnson C. Smith 
Smolen made history while powering the Golden Bulls' special teams. He was automatic, going a perfect nine-for-nine on extra points — a school record — in JCSU's 69-13 rout. On kickoffs, Smolen boomed 11 attempts for 712 yards, with nine sailing into the end zone for touchbacks. His consistency and leg strength ensured Johnson C. Smith controlled field position all game long. 

Rookie – Bobby Smith, Johnson C. Smith 
Smith continued to shine as one of the CIAA's most exciting young playmakers. The rookie running back showcased poise and power, rushing for 93 yards on 15 carries and finding the end zone twice in the Golden Bulls' victory. His ability to keep drives alive and punch in scores added another layer of explosiveness to JCSU's high-powered offense.
