Peacock football's Jayden Mitchell was named GLVC Offensive Player of the Week following a 22-carry, 169-yard performance on the ground in UIU's 29-27 triumph over Quincy. He is Upper Iowa's third GLVC Player of the Week selection this season, following volleyball's Zoe Semelroth (9/16/24) and football's Ben Kamara (9/9/24). 
 
The St. Louis, Mo. native recorded three of the team's four touchdowns and averaged 7.7 yards per rush in Upper Iowa's second GLVC victory this weekend. He also added 16 receiving yards and two receptions. The Peacocks sit at 3-2 overall and 2-0 in league play. 
 
Mitchell ranks fourth in the GLVC in rushing yards with 485 (97 YDS/G) and ninth in scoring (5.2 PTS/G).
 
UIU football is back home at Harms-Eischeid on Saturday against Truman State at 6 p.m.
