IRVING, TEXAS – The American Athletic Conference has announced the winners of the league's weekly football honors from Week 8 of the 2024 season. Army senior quarterback Bryson Daily has been named Offensive Player of the Week, marking back-to-back-to-back weeks taking home the award.
Daily is the only three-time winner of the award this season.
Daily had another huge day in leading No. 23 Army to its 11th consecutive win as the Black Knights topped East Carolina 45-28.
Daily rushed for a career-high 171 yards and five touchdowns on 31 carries, while he completed 7-of-10 passes for 147 yards and a passing touchdown to account for six total TDs, becoming the first Army player since Elmer Oliphant in 1916 to figure in six touchdowns.
