Maxwell Award Player of the Week/Chuck Bednarik Award Player of the Week

Each week during the 2024 season the Maxwell Football Club will recognize outstanding performances with two weekly awards. The Maxwell Award Player of the Week will be recognized for overall performance on offense, defense or special teams, and the Chuck Bednarik Award Player of the Week will be honored for outstanding defensive play. Players selected do not have to be represented on the Maxwell or Bednarik Award watch list.

Maxwell Award

Player of the Week

TE – Tyler Warren

Penn State

Penn State tight end Tyler Warren delivered a historic performance against USC, hauling in 17 catches and totaling 224 receiving yards, the second-most in Penn State history. His 17 receptions tied the FBS record for tight ends, and his ability to consistently find space in the defense was key to Penn State’s victory. Warren’s yards after the catch made him an unstoppable force throughout the game, and he capped his day with a crucial touchdown. His breakout performance not only helped his team but also boosted his national profile. Warren’s dominant showing will be remembered as one of the top individual efforts in college football this season. For his remarkable game, Warren was named the Maxwell Player of the Week.

Bednarik Award

Player of the Week

LB – Isaiah Glasker

BYU

On Saturday evening, Isaiah Glasker delivered a spectacular defensive performance against Arizona en route to a BYU victory. Glasker was a force to be reckoned with, recording five tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack, a forced fumble, and a pick-six. His all-around performance was instrumental in the Cougar’s dominant win over the Wildcats, showcasing his ability to make game-changing plays on the defensive side of the ball. Glasker and the BYU team look to remain undefeated as they host the Oklahoma State Cowboys in a Friday night Big 12 showdown.
