Football: Tom Zetts, Torrance Nicholson, Todd Rowan Named HBK Players of the Game

Youngstown – Senior quarterback Tom Zetts, redshirt freshman Torrance Nicholson and sophomore quarterback/holder Todd Rowan were named the Hill Barth & King Players of the Game for their performances in the narrow 23-22 victory over Southern Utah last Saturday.

Zetts was named the HBK Offensive Player of the Game. Zetts, who was making his school-record 43rd start at quarterback, completed 15-of-26 passes for 164 yards while engineering the fifth fourth-quarterback win of his career.

Nicholson was named the HBK Defensive Player of the Game. He played 62 snaps and came up with a fumble recovery at the SUU two-yard line to set up the Guins’ first touchdown of the game. He was credited with eight total tackles, including five solos. He also had a sack for 10-yard loss.

Rowan was tabbed the HBK Special Teams Player of the Game. A holder on all placement kicks, Rowan contributed to three Brian Palmer field goals and two extra points, all big factors in the one-point contest.

Junior tight end Derrick Bush was named the Jim Zdelar Offensive Lineman of the Game. Bush caught three passes for 26 yards in the contest. He participated in 53 plays earning an 80 percent grade from the coaching staff.

Senior linebacker James Terry was selected as the Jermaine Hopkins Defensive Lineman of the Game. Terry played a defense-high 73 snaps in the contest against the Thunderbirds. He was credited with 10 total tackles, including seven solo stops. He also had two tackles for losses.

Earning accolades as Scout Team Players of the Week were freshman wide receiver Kamryn Keys (offense), freshman defensive tackle Joshua Myers (defense) and junior cornerback Tony Kavouras (special teams).

Junior wide receiver Ferlando Williams was the recipient of the W.O.W./Derek Pixley Hit of the Week.

Nicholson was also tabbed the Haines Family Player of the Game by the YSU radio broadcast crew.

Fifth-year senior wide receiver Dustin Helle was the honoree as the Wachovia Leadership Award Winner. Helle played 13 snaps against the Thunderbirds.

The 12th-ranked Penguins return to action on Saturday when they play host to Illinois State in the annual Homecoming tilt. Kickoff for the contest is set for 4 p.m.
