NORFOLK, Va. | Florida A&M University quarterback Ryan Stanley and tight end Kamari Young picked up Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) weekly honors, the conference announced on Monday.
Stanley, who broke Quinn Gray’s career passing mark against South Carolina State on Saturday, was tabbed the Co-Offensive Player of the Week, while Young, who caught the game-winning touchdown against the Bulldogs, earned Rookie of the Week honors.
