Offensive Player of the Week
QB - Demond Williams Jr., Washington (SO)

- Went 21-of-27 for 402 yards and two passing touchdowns with no interceptions and added 13 carries for 136 yards and two more scores in a win against Rutgers
- Became the first Husky in program history and just the 16th player in NCAA (FBS) history to pass for 400 yards and rush for 100 yards in the same game, with 402 and 138 yards, respectively
- Broke the UW single-game record for total offense with 538 yards, breaking the mark of 529 set by Michael Penix Jr. vs. Arizona in 2022
- His 138 rushing yards were the fourth-most in UW history by a quarterback and helped to lead the Huskies to a come-from-behind 38-19 win over Rutgers
- Last Washington Offensive Player of the Week: Demond Williams Jr. (Sept. 22, 2025)

Defensive Player of the Week
LB - Aiden Fisher, Indiana (SR)

- Piled up a game-high 13 tackles with a career-best 1.5 sacks to help Indiana to its first-ever top-five road win at Oregon
- Anchored a defense that held Oregon to its fewest yards of total offense under head coach Dan Lanning and fewest yards since 2021 (Utah: 221)
- His 1.5 sacks in the game were more than the Ducks had allowed in its first five games of the season and part of a 6.0 sack game -- the most allowed by Oregon since the 2024 College Football Playoff against Ohio State
- Had a solo sack in the second quarter with Oregon in the red zone to force a field goal try
- Last Indiana Defensive Player of the Week: Jailin Walker (Dec. 2, 2024)

Special Teams Player of the Week
K - Jack Olsen, Northwestern (SR)

- Went a perfect 3-for-3 on field goal attempts as Northwestern defeated Penn State 22-21 on the road on Saturday
- Connected on field goals from 27, 34 and 41 yards, with his longest of the day coming in the fourth quarter, giving Northwestern a 16-14 lead
- Helped the Wildcats win their first game at Penn State since 2014
- For his career, Olsen increased his total to 27 made field goals, which ranks 10th-most in a career in program history, while his career field goal percentage of 73.0 ranks as the fourth-highest
- Last Northwestern Special Teams Player of the Week: Luke Akers (Oct. 14, 2024)

Freshman of the Week
RB - King Miller, USC

- Recorded 158 rushing yards on 18 attempts with a touchdown to lead the Trojans to a 31-13 victory against No. 15 Michigan
- It marked his first time leading the Trojans in rushing since the 2025 opener versus Missouri State (73-13)
- His 158 yards are believed to be the most by a USC walk-on since at least the early 1970s
- Miller's 49-yard run with 12:09 left in the third quarter was his longest of the season, later adding a 47-yard run in the quarter
- Last USC Freshman of the Week: N/A
