Sorensen, Hille, & Brown, Players of the Week, 11/8/26

Centennial Conference Football Players of the Week 

November 8 

Offensive Player of the Week
Dane Sorensen, Jr., RB, Dickinson 
Bridgewater, N.J. | Bridgewater 
Sorensen garnered weekly honors for the second straight week and fifth time this season following another superb performance both rushing and receiving. Sorensen continued to be a major offensive weapon for the Red Devils on Saturday as they took down Ursinus 31-7 in a battle of two of the four teams tied atop the Centennial Conference standings. The junior racked up 155 yards and one touchdown over 24 carries on Saturday afternoon, averaging over six yards a carry. He also chipped in four catches for 55 yards to put him over 200 total yards for the fourth time this year. 
 
Defensive Player of the Week
Connor Hille, Sr., LB, Franklin & Marshall 
Phillipsburg, N.J. | Phillipsburg
Hille intercepted the second play from scrimmage and returned it 30 yards which led to an eventual touchdown in F&M's 24-19 win over Carnegie Mellon. That play helped set the tone for the defense that kept the highest scoring offense in the league at bay, despite being faced with multiple short fields. Hille also recorded a sack and finished the day with six tackles.
 
Special Teams Player of the Week
Jahmir Brown, Fr., KR/DB, Muhlenberg
Upper Darby, Pa. | Episcopal Academy 
Brown earned Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time this season after totaling 100 yards on two long returns to set up nine of the Mules' 16 points in the decisive third quarter of their 30-16 win against Gettysburg. Brown, who entered the game ranked seventh in Division III in kickoff return average, brought back the opening kick of the second half 44 yards to near midfield, and Muhlenberg was in the end zone nine plays later. Late in the half, he brought back an interception 56 yards to set up a field goal.
