VORHEES EARNS PAIR OF WEEKLY HONORS
9/23/2024 10:05:00 AM | Football
South Dakota State running back Kirby Vorhees received conference and national honors Monday, following a three-touchdown performance last week at Southeastern Louisiana.
A redshirt freshman from Lutz, Florida, Vorhees was named Missouri Valley Football Conference Offensive Player of the Week as well as Stats Perform FCS National Freshman Player of the Week after needing only five carries to rack up 179 rushing yards and score three touchdowns in the top-ranked Jackrabbits' 41-0 road win on Sept. 21.
Vorhees shed several would-be tacklers to score touchdowns of 20 and 22 yards on his first two rushing attempts in the second quarter, then broke through the line for an 80-yard touchdown on his first carry of the third quarter. His two other rushing attempts covered 39 and 18 yards, giving him an average of 35.8 yards per attempt.
Â
As a team, the Jackrabbits rushed for 341 yards and five touchdowns.
South Dakota State, 3-1 overall, has its lone bye week of the regular season before opening MVFC play Oct. 5 at Northern Iowa.
