Three Falcons Earn CIAA Football Player of the Week Awards

Saturday's effort in the win over Fayetteville State University netted four CIAA football player of the week awards for Saint Augustine's College on Monday.

Jadarius Dean (Fr./Milledgeville, Ga.) garnered the most honors. He was named offensive lineman of the week and rookie of the week. Tailback Walter Sanders (Sr./Baltimore, Md.) was chosen offensive back of the week and defensive end Anthony Harris (Jr./Raleigh, N.C.) won defensive lineman of the week.

Each player was instrumental in the 42-36 Homecoming win over the Broncos, the defending CIAA champions.  Dean anchored an offensive line which helped Sanders gain a season-high 243 yards and score three touchdowns on 30 carries. Sanders, who scored on runs of 41, 70 and seven yards, rushed for the second-highest total in school history. He is 299 yards away from becoming the Falcons' first 1,000-yard rusher in the modern era.


Harris played his best game as a Falcon on defense. He recorded five tackles, two sacks, two quarterback hurries, one pass break-up and one blocked punt which he recovered. The blocked punt led to a key touchdown drive for the Falcons.

With the victory, the Falcons stay in the chase for the CIAA Southern Division title at 3-0. Their 4-1 overall mark is the team's best record since 2005. They have a key matchup against divisional leader Winston-Salem State University (4-0 CIAA, 6-0 overall) Saturday in Winston-Salem, N.C., at 6 p.m. The battle is for first place in the Southern Division.
