Jordan and McFadden named Offensive Players of the Week

Fayetteville, NC - The North Carolina Wesleyan Department of Athletics is pleased to announce that junior quarterback Bo Jordan and freshman tailback Tyreck McFadden of football have been named the USA South's Offensive Players of the Week. The duo helped led the Battling Bishops to a 41-14 victory over Ferrum College last Saturday. Wesleyan is currently 5-4 on the season, 4-2 in the league.

Jordan earns Offensive Player of the Week accolades for the first time in his career. The Gibsonville, NC native became the first Bishop quarterback in history to eclipse the 300-yard passing mark this past week. Jordan threw for 311 yards on 18-of-26 passing with one touchdown against the Panthers. His lone touchdown pass came on a 70-yard completion to Laqwan Brodie in the fourth quarter.

Like Jordan, McFadden also picks up his first USA South weekly award by being tabbed Offensive Rookie of the Week. The freshman running back from Beulaville, NC scored three touchdowns, all in the third quarter, in Wesleyan's victory. McFadden carried the ball 17 times for 147 yards, an average of 8.6 yards per carry. With the three scores, McFadden became just the fourth Bishop to rush for three touchdowns in a single game. His final touchdown of the game was an 84-yard run, the longest scamper in school history.
