NORFOLK, Va. – For the second time in consecutive outings, three North Carolina Central University Eagles received weekly football awards from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for their performances during a 36-6 road victory over Norfolk State on Saturday, Oct. 20.
NCCU sophomore quarterback
Chauncey Caldwell (Durham, N.C.) has been named the MEAC Offensive Player of the Week, redshirt freshman kicker
Adam Lippy (Tucker, Ga.) has been announced as the MEAC Specialist of the Week, and redshirt junior
Nick Leverett (Concord, N.C.) has been selected as the MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Week.
The trio earned the same honors two weeks ago prior to the Eagles' off week, when NCCU rallied to beat Howard on Oct. 6.
In this past weekend's win over Norfolk State, Caldwell amassed 241 yards of total offense and accounted for two touchdowns. He passed for 188 yards, including a 93-yard touchdown connection to tight end
Sherman McLeod for the second-longest pass play in NCCU history, and rushed for 53 yards and a score.
Lippy accounted for 12 points with three field goals and converted three extra-point kicks.
Leverett helped pave the way for 388 yards of total offense and 36 points. He graded out at 98 percent with three pancake blocks, no sacks allowed and zero penalties.
NCCU (3-3 overall, 2-1 MEAC) returns to action on Oct. 27 at Delaware State.
