Junior quarterback Brady Wahlberg and freshman tailback Donald Chapman are sharing this week’s honor of Skyhawk of the week.

Wahlberg, the 5-11, 190-pound Panama City, Fla., native, threw for 272 yards last Saturday night in the Skyhawks’ victory over Austin Peay.

The QB had no interceptions while completing 64 percent of his passes, three of which were for touchdowns. The longest pass was a 37-yard throw to sophomore tight end Cole Duncan.

Saturday night’s game put Wahlberg at 575 passing yards on the season and 3,593 career. He is currently fourth on the all-time leaders passing list, 1,249 yards behind first-place Leon Reed, who played during the 1987-88 seasons.

This is the second time that Donald Chapman has been named Skyhawk of the week. The first time came after the first football game of the season when he rushed for 77 yards against Western Michigan University.

Saturday night against the Governors, Chapman more than doubled that number, rushing for 183 yards and scoring one touchdown.

“(Chapman) is a special back,” said head coach Matt Griffin. “I am really impressed with him. He has some speed.

“The thing he has impressed us with here, as a young kid he runs with some power. A lot of young kids don’t.”

Chapman was once again named the OVC Newcomer of the Week for the second time in three weeks.

He now has more than 300 yards rushing in the three games this season.

Chapman’s performance against the Govs placed him third on the all-time single-game rushing performance list for the Skyhawks, just behind John Burch’s 1987 total of 197 yards and Darriel Ruffin’s all-time high of 222 yards in 1997.
