MARION, Ind. - Indiana Wesleyan Football running back Ryan Whitwell claimed Mid-States Football Association (MSFA) Mideast Offensive Player of the Week honors, as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon. This is the second time he has claimed the honor this season, and the tenth MSFA weekly award for the Wildcats this year.

The offense ran through Whitwell in IWU's 21-10 win over USF, as the running back helped clinch an MSFA Mideast League title. The senior set a new IWU program record with 47 rushes in the win, finishing with 234 rushing yards. He ran for 220+ yards for the third time this season, and now leads the NAIA in rushing attempts and yards.

IWU will be on the road in next this week's regular-season finale at Lawrence Tech at 1:00 p.m.
