October 13, 2026 Forrest Freeman

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Sports Writers Association has announced the Oct. 13 College Players of the Week on Tuesday afternoon.

FOOTBALL: Carson-Newman’s Josh Adams was tapped as the TSWA Football Offensive Player of the Week after a 100-yard rushing performance in the team’s 29-13 win over Anderson to improve to 6-1 and 4-1 in the South Atlantic Conference.

He finished the game with a game-high 101 yards rushing on 12 attempts, averaging 8.4 per carry, with a touchdown. His longest gain of 40 yards was for a score in the second quarter to improve the Eagles’ lead to 19-3.

Achieving 100-yard performances on the ground in back-to-back contests, he became the first player in program history to achieve that feat since the end of the 2024 season.

Knox Kremblas of Maryville was chosen as the TSWA Football Defensive Player of the Week following his performance in the Scots’ 51-13 victory over Sewanee to stay unbeaten in Southern Athletic Association (3-0) play and move to 3-3 overall.

On the first play from scrimmage, he intercepted a Tiger pass and ran it back 29 yards for the touchdown 19 seconds into the game that eventually sparked a 28-point first quarter.

Kremblas finished the game with five tackles, a pass breakup and an interception on the afternoon, as the defense held the Tigers to 259 total yards, 33 on the ground, and 2-for-11 on third-down conversions.

MEN’S SOCCER: Mitchell Honcoop of Carson-Newman was honored as the TSWA Men’s Soccer Player of the Week after contributing six points in the team’s victories over Tusculum and Coker to improve to 6-4-2 and 4-2-1 in the SAC.

In C-N’s win over Tusculum on Oct. 7, his goal in the 25th minute was the game-winner in the 3-0 win. He also assisted on the Eagles’ second goal in the 39th minute.

On Oct. 10 against Coker, 44 seconds into the match, he drew a foul in the box and converted the penalty kick goal for his seventh career PK goal, becoming the all-time leader at Carson-Newman in the category.

In a back-and-forth match with the Cobras, he contributed to the team’s game-winning goal in the 89th minute, as he notched the assist on Mat Ulrich Da Silva’s strike.

So far in 2026, he has 10 points on four goals and two assists.

WOMEN’S SOCCER: Ai Kitagawa from Memphis earned the TSWA Women’s Soccer Player of the Week following her performance in the team’s victories over Tulsa and Charlotte, as the Tigers remain unbeaten in the American with a 4-0-1 record and a 7-3-2 overall clip.

Finishing with eight points on the week, she scored four in each match. Against Tulsa, she was involved in three of the four goals the Tigers netted in the match, all coming in the second half.

In the 48th minute, she assisted on Abby Forsgren’s goal to get the Tigers on the board. Eight minutes later, she scored the second goal before assisting on the team’s third strike in the 64th minute.

Against Charlotte, she picked up the brace, including the game-winner in the 84th minute to defeat the 49ers, 2-1.

Leading the team in goals (7), assists (5) and points (19), she is second in the conference in points and fourth in goals and assists.

VOLLEYBALL: Lipscomb’s Kelsey Schenck was selected as the TSWA Volleyball Player of the Week after collecting 100 assists, 12.50 per set, in wins over Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast to improve to 11-4 and a 4-1 record in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Additionally, she contributed back-to-back double-doubles thanks to 24 digs over the two matches and added six blocks and five kills.

In Lipscomb's three-set sweep over Stetson, she posted 48 assists, marking the third-highest by a Bisons player since 2010 in a three-set match and added 14 digs and three blocks. For a team that hit .257 on the weekend, the 55 kills in the sweep marked the fourth-most in a three-set match for the program since the 25-point era began in 2008.

Following that performance, Schenck picked up 52 assists with 10 digs, three total blocks and three kills in a five-set win over ASUN preseason favorite FGCU, earning its first regular season win over the Eagles since 2016.

Schenck has moved into the top 20 nationally with 10.58 assists per set through 15 matches.

TSWA honors college players of week - Oct. 6

October 6, 2026 Forrest Freeman

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Sports Writers Association has announced the seventh College Players of the Week for the 2026-27 academic year on Tuesday afternoon.

FOOTBALL: Tennessee’s DeSean Bishop was honored as the TSWA Football Offensive Player of the Week after his efforts in their 24-14 win over Auburn to improve to 4-1 on the year and 1-1 in conference play. Setting career highs in rushing yards (220), attempts (34) and touchdowns (3), he accounted for all three Volunteer scores in the second half.

158 of his 220 yards came after contact, as he scored on rushes of 25-, 44- and 5-yards out.

He is the 20th Southeastern Conference player in the last 30 seasons to rack up at least 220 yards and three rushing touchdowns in a single game.

Bishop’s 200+ yard rushing effort marked the first by a Vol since Eric Gray against Vanderbilt on Nov. 30, 2019, and it is the second in program history in the last 20 seasons.

Dejuan Lane earned the TSWA Football Defensive Player of the Week after registering a team-high nine tackles, 2.5 for a loss, two sacks, a quarterback hurry and an interception in the Vols’ win over the Tigers.

Setting a career-high in tackles, he surpassed his previous high of six against Clemson on Dec. 27, 2025, in the Pinstripe Bowl when he was a member of Penn State.

His second interception of the season, third of his career, came midway through the third quarter, which saw him return the pass 32 yards to the Auburn 44-yard line.

MEN’S SOCCER: Chris Douglas was picked as the TSWA Men’s Soccer of the Week for the third time this season after another dazzling performance last week for the Trojans, who are now 8-1-2 overall and 3-1-2 in Gulf South Conference play.

Earning wins over Freed-Hardeman and Delta State, he scored seven points thanks to three goals and an assist.

Against the Lions of FHU on Sept. 29, Douglas produced his first career hat trick on three total shots in a come-from-behind 4-3 victory for the Trojans. Trailing 3-2 in the 68th minute, his goal leveled the match, and in the 89th minute, he scored the game-winner.

On Oct. 3 at home against the Statesmen, he assisted on TNU’s second goal in the first half in the 21st minute as the Trojans cruised to a 3-1 win.

The junior is listed in the top 10 in Division II, including leading in goals per game (1.11), fourth in points per game (2.44), sixth in total goals (10), eighth in points (22) and 11th in game-winning goals (3).

WOMEN’S SOCCER: Chattanooga’s Paige Thomas was chosen as the TSWA Women’s Soccer Player of the Week following five goals in two Southern Conference wins over VMI and Western Carolina to extend the Mocs’ program-record unbeaten streak to nine matches. Entering the second weekend of October, UTC is 7-1-4 overall and 3-0-1 in league play.

Thomas recorded the brace in the team’s 2-0 win at VMI on Oct. 1, scoring in the 60th and 80th minutes.

Three days later, in the 5-0 rout of the Catamounts, the junior recorded the first hat trick of her collegiate career, scoring three times in less than 22 minutes during the first half. She found the back of the net in the fourth, ninth and 26th minutes as the Mocs had a 4-0 lead at the break.

Her eight goals this season pace the SoCon and rank 24th in Division I, while her 17 points are fifth in the league.

VOLLEYBALL: Blair Cherry from Carson-Newman secured the TSWA Volleyball Player of the Week accolade after a perfect 3-0 week with back-to-back five-set wins over Mars Hill and Anderson before a sweep of Newberry to improve to 14-5 and 7-4 in the South Atlantic Conference.

Totaling 159 assists and averaging 12.23 per set, she helped her team hit .235 on the week and saw her team total 76 kills against Mars Hill, where she assisted on 62 of those attacks to set a single-match record and added 13 digs for her 12th double-double of the season.

Adding 51 assists against SAC preseason favorite Anderson, the Eagles put together back-to-back five-set wins for the first time since 2018.

Additionally, she added 29 digs, nine kills, seven blocks and four aces to wrap up her week. Leading the Division II programs with 767 assists, she is 17th in the nation in assists per set (10.36).

College players of week selected by TSWA - Sept. 29

September 29, 2026 Forrest Freeman

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Sports Writers Association has announced the fifth College Players of the Week for the 2026-27 academic year on Tuesday afternoon.

FOOTBALL: Tennessee Tech’s Jax Leatherwood has been selected as the TSWA Football Offensive Player of the Week after leading the Golden Eagles to a come-from-behind 42-38 victory at Wofford to remain unbeaten overall and in SoCon play (4-0, 2-0).

Trailing 35-21 going into the fourth quarter, Leatherwood went 15-of-18 in the final period for 143 yards and three touchdowns to outscore the Terriers 21-3. Two of the touchdowns were caught by Eric Weatherly, a 15-yard reception to tie the game with 3:23 left and another 15-yard catch to give Tech the 42-38 lead with 1:06 remaining.

Finishing the game with 427 passing yards on 38-of-46 with five touchdowns, his 38 completions, 427 passing yards and five scores are career-bests. His 427 yards also rank third in program history for single-game passing yards.

Connecting with 12 different receivers, Leatherwood went a perfect 9-for-9 with Weatherly, who finished with 100 yards and the two scores that gave the Golden Eagles the win.

Chattanooga’s Zion Rutledge was recognized as the TSWA Football Defensive Player of the Week in the Mocs’ 27-8 rout of The Citadel.

Finishing with 13 total tackles, he had 2 stops for a loss, totaling five yards, and was instrumental in the defense that held the Bulldogs, who entered the game sixth in FCS in rushing yards (243.3), to 172 rushing yards.

3.5 of his 4.5 TFLs on the season have come in his last two games to help Chattanooga start 2-0 in SoCon play.

MEN’S SOCCER: Brady Hammer of Maryville College has been chosen as the TSWA Men’s Soccer Player of the Week after scoring six points with two goals and assists each in the program’s victories over Piedmont University and Warren Wilson College.

Hammer was responsible for both goals in the win at the Lions on Sept. 23, scoring in the 17th minute and assisting on Ben Brophy’s goal in the 57th minute to earn the 2-1 win.
