CAA Football Defensive Player of the Week - Matt Parent, LB, New Hampshire
Parent grabbed CAA Football Defensive Player of the Week honors after an outstanding effort in New Hampshire’s 52-21 win over Massachusetts. The Long Beach, Calif., native tied a league-record for the longest-ever interception return when he picked off a Liam Coen pass and took it back 100 yards for a score. The pick-six, which was the first in league play since JMU’s Tony LeZotte took an interception back 100 yards against Towson in 2005, put the Wildcats on top 10-0 midway through the first quarter. With 2:50 left in the first quarter New Hampshire’s T.J. Taylor knocked a ball loose and Parent picked it up for a fumble recovery and five-yard return. One play later New Hampshire extended its lead to 24-0 with a 48-yard touchdown run. Parent, who came up with another fumble recovery in the fourth quarter, ended his day with six total tackles including one for a loss of four yards.
CAA Football Rookie of the Week - Chris Jeannot, TE, New Hampshire
Jeannot earned CAA Football Rookie of the Week honors after hauling in two touchdowns in New Hampshire’s 52-21 win over Massachusetts. Jeannot, who caught two passes, both for touchdowns accounted for 92 of the Wildcats’ 295 receiving yards. The Moon Township, Pa., native logged a 77-yard touchdown catch in the closing minutes of the first half -- the first TD-catch of his career. The redshirt freshman then caught a 15-yard touchdown toss from R.J. Toman with 7:46 left to play in the game. Prior to the game against UMass, Jeannot had caught just two passes for 10 yards playing in a back-up role to All-America tight end Scott Sicko.
Rodney Landers and Roger Williams also were honored.
