INDIANAPOLIS - Upper Iowa senior quarterback Zamar Wise earned GLVC Offensive Player of the Week honors after totaling 380 yards in the 41-39 triple-overtime win over Quincy (Ill.) on Saturday. 

This marks the third straight season that UIU has had a player win a GLVC weekly award twice in the same season. Wise last earned the award after his opening-game performance against Jamestown (N.D.). Evan Dorn earned the defensive weekly honor, and Jackson Wacha earned the special teams weekly honor earlier this season.

He joins former quarterback Darryl Overstreet Jr. in 2024 as two-time Peacock GLVC Offensive Player of the Week award winners. Shaquille Roman earned the defensive award twice last season, and Nathan Behne earned the special teams award twice in 2025 as well.

Wise threw for a season-high 247 yards in Saturday's win over the Hawks. His 133 rushing yards were his second-most in a game this season, and it marked his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the year. UIU clinched its third straight winning season with the win. 

The Peacocks (6-4, 5-2 GLVC) wrap up the regular season at home against UIndy (6-4, 5-2 GLVC) this weekend. Upper Iowa can win the conference championship with a victory and a Truman State (Mo.) (6-4, 6-1 GLVC) loss this week. Kickoff against the Greyhounds is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Harms-Eischeid Stadium.
