PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Just hours after being named Southland Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, SFA sophomore receiver Gralyn Crawford has been named Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS National Special Teams Player of the Week TSN Executive Director Craig Haley announced Monday afternoon.
Crawford handed the 10th-ranked Lumberjacks an early 6-0 lead when he took the opening kickoff and returned 92 yards for a touchdown. The return, which was SFA's first return for a touchdown since the 2008 season, was the ninth-longest in school history, and was the first opening-game kickoff returned for a touchdown since Freeman Perry returned a kick 94 yards against McNeese State during the 1996 season.
Crawford also added a 72-yard punt return for a touchdown in the third quarter, which was the seventh longest in school history. Crawford also caught a team-high seven passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. He finished the game with a career-high 233 all-purpose yards and three scores.
The Lumberjacks will travel to No. 13 Northern Iowa Saturday for a showdown between two top-25 teams. The game against the Panthers is slated to begin at 4:05 p.m. from the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls.
