N.C. Central’s Dorrell McClain earned Rookie of the Week honors while teammate Carl Jones was named Offensive Lineman of the Week. North Carolina A&T State’s Khris Gardin was named Special Teams Players of the Week.

Moore (SS, 6-2, 200, r-Sr., Raleigh, N.C.) amassed a team-high 11 tackles, nine solo, including 2.0 hits for a loss of five yards. Also, he accounted for two interceptions in the Eagles’ two-point loss to Bethune-Cookman.
McClain (RB, 5-10, 190, r-Fr., Cary, N.C.) rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries against Bethune-Cookman. Also, he returned three kickoffs for 59 yards to finish the contest with 203 all-purpose yards.
Jones (C, 6-2, 285, r-Jr., Nashville, Tenn.) graded out at 95-percent of his assignments with eight pancake blocks that paved the way for 502 yards of total offense, including 324 yards-rushing, against Bethune-Cookman. The ground yardage was the best rushing output in 11 years for N.C. Central.
Gardin (PR, 5-8, 157, So., Morganton, N.C.) returned four punts for 203 yards (50.8 avg) including a 71-yarder for a touchdown. He finished the game with returns of 42, 45, 45, and 71 yards out falling one-punt short of competing for the NCAA’s single-game punt return average.
