Dunn, Sturges & Brown, Players of the Week, 10/11/26

Centennial Conference Football Players of the Week 

October 11

Offensive Player of the Week
Amari Dunn, Sr., RB, Muhlenberg
Pottsville, Pa. | Pottsville Area 
Dunn rushed for a career-high 157 yards and a touchdown in the Mules' 31-28 win against nationally ranked defending Centennial Conference champion Franklin & Marshall. Dunn's 7-yard touchdown run, and ensuing two-point conversion, tied the game at 28-all with 7:21 remaining, and he rushed for the final 11 yards on Muhlenberg's game-winning field goal drive. The 157 yards were the most by a Mule runner since 2018 and came against an F&M defense that entered the game 11th in Division III against the run.
 
Defensive Player of the Week
Robert Sturges, Jr., LB, Carnegie Mellon 
Collegeville, Pa. | Perkiomen Valley
Sturges led the Tartans defense with eight tackles (five solo), a tackle for a loss, an interception and a pass breakup in a 21-0 win over Johns Hopkins. It marked the third time this season the Tartans defense has held their opponent under 100 yards on the ground, as the Blue Jays finished with 81.
 
Special Teams Player of the Week
Jahmir Brown, Fr., KR, Muhlenberg 
Upper Darby, Pa. | Episcopal Academy
Brown returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to answer Franklin & Marshall's first touchdown in the Mules' 31-28 win. Brown is the second different Muhlenberg player to return a kickoff for a TD this season and the first Mule freshman to do so since 1977. He's the fifth Mule to bring back a kickoff 100 yards.
