November 10, 2026 Forrest Freeman

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Sports Writers Association has announced the Nov. 10 College Players of the Week on Tuesday afternoon.

FOOTBALL: Jax Leatherwood of Tennessee Tech was chosen as the TSWA Football Offensive Player of the Week after a five-touchdown day in the Golden Eagles’ win over VMI to improve to 9-1 overall and 6-1 in the Southern Conference.

Going 21-of-28 on the day, he totaled 312 yards. He found nine different receivers, including a perfect 7-of-7 to receiver Eric Weatherly for back-to-back 29-yard completions for the first two scores of the game.

He added three more passing touchdowns in the first half, adding passes of 21, 34 and 24 yards.

His four touchdowns in the second quarter tied a SoCon record for touchdowns. He also matched the record for passing touchdowns in a half with five.

Now at 26 touchdowns on the year, Leatherwood has matched the most in program history for a single season.

Arion Carter from Tennessee was selected as the TSWA Football Defensive Player of the Week after shutting down Kentucky’s offense in a 33-6 win over the Wildcats this past Saturday.

Totaling a game- and season-high 13 tackles, 10 solo stops, he also got to the UK quarterback twice and totaled four tackles for a loss.

With UT leading 13-6, Carter saw one of his tackles for a loss and a 3rd-and-7 play at the Tennessee 45-yard-line to force the Wildcats to punt.

One of his quarterback sacks came early in the fourth quarter. With a 4th-and-1 at midfield, Carter dropped Kenny Minchey back 11 yards to give the ball back to his offense in great field position. Two plays later, the Vols scored on a DeSean Bishop five-yard run to extend their lead to 27-6.

He was the fifth FBS player in over 11 years to log at least 13 tackles, 4.0 TFLs and 2.0 sacks against an AP top 10 opponent. Kentucky was sixth in the country at the time.

VOLLEYBALL: Karris Oller of Tusculum was recognized as the TSWA Volleyball Player of the Week after posting 3.9 kills and 4.6 points per set for the Pioneers’ back-to-back five-set victories on the road at Wingate and Coker.

She got the weekend started with 14 kills with no attack errors on 31 swings for the middle blocker for a .452 attack percentage at Wingate. She added six digs and five assisted blocks.

The next day at Coker, she posted 25 kills in the five-set victory, tying the 10th-most for a five-set match in program history, with a .426 attack percentage. Oller had a third of the team’s 73 kills in the victory. Additionally, she added four digs and two aces.

Totaling 272 kills on the season, her .377 attack percentage is good for 29th in Division I.

Finishing the regular season at 18-8, Tusculum has earned the No. 2 seed in the upcoming South Atlantic Conference Tournament, the program’s highest seed in the tournament since 2021.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Jayden Reid of Memphis was honored as the first TSWA Men’s Basketball Player of the Week recipient of 2026-27 following a couple of early-season wins.

He led the American last week in scoring with 29.0 points and added 4.0 assists to help the Tigers earn wins over No. 18 Iowa State and Virginia Commonwealth.

He shot over 50% on the week from the field and added 19-of-23 shots from the charity stripe.

Against the Cyclones on Nov. 2, he scored 26 points with two steals and converted 12-of-14 from the free throw line.

Five days later, against the Rams to open the home schedule, his 32-point effort on 11 made field goals was a career high. Additionally, he scored the final five points of the game, including a 3-pointer to tie it up with 1:19 left and two free throws with five seconds remaining.

Leading the effort for the Tigers’ 25th straight win in home openers, Reid also eclipsed 1,000 career points at the Division I level in the second half.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Kaylene Smikle from Tennessee was named the first TSWA Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for the 2026-27 season after averaging 24.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.0 assists in wins over Duquesne and Coppin State.

In her Tennessee debut on Nov. 2 against Duquesne, she dropped 31 points in 21 minutes on 11-of-13 shooting, including converting on five shots from downtown. 17 of her 31 points came in the first quarter.

Additionally, she added eight rebounds, dished out four assists and had three steals.

Three days later at Coppin State, she scored 17 of her 18 points in the second half. 10 of the team’s 33 points in the third quarter are credited to her, as the Vols start the season 2-0.

TSWA honors college players of week - Nov. 3

November 3, 2026 Forrest Freeman

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Sports Writers Association has announced the Nov. 3 College Players of the Week on Tuesday afternoon.

FOOTBALL: Taylor Crumedy from Chattanooga was honored as the TSWA Football Offensive Player of the Week after posting a career-high 124 receiving yards with a touchdown in their win over VMI, 24-10, to improve to 6-3 overall and keep pace for the top spot in the Southern Conference standings at 5-1.

Late in the first half, Battle Alberson found Crumedy for a career-best 66-yard score to put the Mocs ahead 14-3 at the intermission.

With only four receptions on the day, he averaged 31 yards per reception with 28- and 25-yard efforts.

Over the last two weeks, Crumedy has made seven catches, five of which were for 25 yards or more. Additionally, his 203 yards over the last two games make up over 85% of Chattanooga’s 238 passing yards.

Brady Weatherly from Carson-Newman was recognized as the TSWA Football Defensive Player of the Week after a 41-7 win over Catawba to improve to 8-1 and 6-1 in league play.

Weatherly had a pair of strip sacks, and both came on the same drive in the second quarter. On a second-down play, he got to the Mason Fortune for a seven-yard loss and got the football loose, but the ball went out of bounds.

Five plays later, on a third down, Weatherly found more “fortune” with another seven-yard sack and fumble. Despite Catawba recovering the fumble, they were forced to punt.

It marked the ninth time since 2000 that a Carson-Newman player had two forced fumbles in a game.

Finishing the game with a team-high six tackles, he now has 35 for the season and three sacks.

MEN’S SOCCER: Chris Douglas puts an exclamation point on the TSWA Men’s Soccer Player of the Week awards, as he earned his sixth weekly honor this season.

In the quarterfinals of the Gulf South Conference Tournament on Oct. 31 against Mississippi Christian, he earned a brace as he scored in the 57th and 76th minutes to advance to the semifinals.

Douglas totaled four shots, three on target, in the win.

Scoring in four consecutive matches, the Trojans are 13-1-2 this season as they head to their first GSC Tournament semifinal.

This is the last weekly honor for men’s soccer for the 2026 season.

WOMEN’S SOCCER: Sewanee’s Pope Scurlock collects her second TSWA Women’s Soccer Player of the Week accolade after a three-goal effort, including two game winners, as the Tigers enter the Southern Athletic Association Tournament on a four-match win streak and a 10-4-3 overall record.

In a non-conference bout with Belhaven on Oct. 27, her 11th-minute goal was enough to knock off the Blazers, 2-0.

After scoring the Tigers’ second goal in the 73rd minute in a 2-0 win at Berry on Oct. 30, she netted another game-winner, this time at Oglethorpe on Nov. 1. Tied at one goal each in the 81st minute, she scored her 10th of the season to clinch the victory over the Stormy Petrels.

She enters the postseason with 21 points on the season in 17 matches played.

This is the final weekly award for women’s soccer for the 2026 season.

VOLLEYBALL: Mya Bolton of Belmont was recognized as the TSWA Volleyball Player of the Week after averaging over five digs per set for the Bruins in wins over Drake and UIC to improve to 14-9 overall and 11-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Against Drake on Oct. 30, she had a match-high 33 digs with two service aces in a four-set win.

The next day against UIC, in a back-and-forth five-set victory for the Bruins, she added 13 digs with an ace to extend Belmont’s current win streak to six.

Ranked fifth in the league in digs, Bolton has 368 digs on the season, averaging over four per set.

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Sports Writers Association has announced the Oct. 28 College Players of the Week on Wednesday morning.

FOOTBALL: Barton Mixon from the University of the South was honored as the TSWA Football Offensive Player of the Week. Carrying the ball 27 times for a career-high 243 yards with two scores against Centre, Mixon averaged 9.0 yards per carry.

In the first quarter, his rushes of 10 and 69 yards on back-to-back plays from scrimmage set up a touchdown, tying the score at 10 points apiece.

The Sewanee tailback had a four-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and a 1-yard score in the fourth.

Going into the week, the sophomore leads the Southern Athletic Association and is in the top 25 in Division III in rushing yards (750) and rushing yards per game (107.1). Additionally, his eight rushing scores are second-most in the league.

Chattanooga’s Zion Rutledge was tapped as the TSWA Defensive Player of the Week following a career-best 17 tackles, including nine solo stops, in its 41-18 victory over Western Carolina to improve to 4-1 in Southern Conference Play and 5-3 overall.

In addition, he added 1.5 tackles for a loss and was a part of a defense that forced two turnovers and held the Catamounts without an offensive touchdown until the fourth quarter, when the game was already decided.

Surpassing 200 career tackles, the senior leads the SoCon in tackles per game (10.0) and solo tackles (4.63).

MEN’S SOCCER: For the second straight week and the sixth time this season, Trevecca Nazarene University’s Chris Douglas was recognized as the TSWA Men’s Soccer Player of the Week after scoring the game-winning goal in the 2-1 victory over West Alabama to help secure the program’s first regular season Gulf South Conference Tournament and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming conference tournament.

His fifth game-winning strike of the year came in the 52nd minute from a Jack Franklin pass and is fifth in Division II in the category.

Douglas enters the postseason continuing to pace Division II in goals per game (1.23) and points per game (2.85), and extends the program’s NCAA record with 27 goals. Additionally, he moves into second in program history in points (61).

WOMEN’S SOCCER: Olivia Shannon from Carson-Newman was chosen as the TSWA Women’s Soccer Player of the Week in the program’s 3-2 win over then No. 12 Catawba to improve to 7-3-6 overall and 4-2-3 in South Atlantic Conference play.
