October 15, 2024 | Football
New Haven, CT – The Walter Camp Football Foundation has announced the Football Bowl Subdivision National Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week for games ending October 12, presented by The Heights Group at Morgan Stanley.
Army West Point QB Bryson Daily was awarded the recipient of Offensive Player of the Week.
Daily accounted for five touchdowns (4 rushing, 1 passing) in Army's 44-10 win over UAB. Daily passed for 102 yards and rushed for 136 on only 12 carries, becoming the first Army rusher with a four rushing touchdown game since 2018. With the win, Army improved to 6-0 (first time since 1996), 5-0 in the American Athletic Conference.
It is the second time an Army player has earned Walter Camp National Player of the Week honors. Former running back Terry Baggett was honored on Oct. 13, 2013, when he rushed for 304 yards and four touchdowns vs. Eastern Michigan.
About the Award:
This is the 21st year that the Walter Camp Football Foundation will honor one offensive and one defensive player as its national Football Bowl Subdivision player of the week during the regular season. It is the nation's longest-running Player of the Week award.
Walter Camp, "The Father of American football," first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp – a former Yale University athlete and football coach – is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side.
The Walter Camp Football Foundation (www.waltercamp.org) – a New Haven-based all-volunteer group – was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team.
The Foundation is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA). Founded in 1997, the NCFAA includes college football's most prestigious awards and its 24 awards have honored more than 900 recipients dating back to 1935. This season, 13 NCFAA awards will honor national players of the week each Tuesday. For more information about the NCFAA and its award programs, visit NCFAA.org or follow on X at @NCFAA.
