If you didn’t agree with my last story, this story might change your opinion, and help you realize that Wagner is doing great things.
On Wednesday, October 21, senior RB Jemaree Yelton was awarded the ESPN San Antonio Player of the Week award by former Dallas Cowboys player Dat Nyugen.
Yelton won the award based on his performance in the week 8 game against the Canyon Cougars, where he gained 347 yards and scored 7 touchdowns, giving the T-Birds a double overtime win 63-57.
This is the same award Wagner won a year ago when last year's RB Eric Tilghmen won it, but this year it has even more value because Yelton has broken Tilghman’s rushing records.in every game he has played so far this year, leading his team in yards and touch downs.
When we spoke about the award, at the end of the ESPN ceremony, he was almost speechless."This is a one-in-a-lifetime experience," Yelton said. "I just want to thank the offensive side of the ball, but most of all, the O-line."
Yelton added that he hopes to perform on the college level as well as he did in high school, but as of right now he has to focus and prepare for the upcoming crucial game against Steele that will determine the T-Birds playoff spot.
