NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.---Westminster senior Jayveerh White (Sharon, Pa., Sharon) and sophomore Brady Prohovic (Greensburg, Pa., Latrobe) were named Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Football weekly award winners Monday afternoon.
It is the second career PAC weekly award for White: he was named the PAC Special Teams Player of the Week on Nov. 18, 2024 as a sophomore at Thiel. This is Prohovic's first career PAC weekly honor.
White rushed for a school-record 266 yards and four touchdowns in Saturday's 62-13 PAC victory over Thie. He finished with a career-high 23 carries in his record-setting, 266-yard performance, and surpassed the previous single-game rushing record of 254 yards, set by Scott Froelich in a 41-22 victory over Hiram on Sept. 18, 2004. Saturday was White's sixth-straight game with 100 or more rushing yards and second four touchdown game this season (4, Oct. 24 vs. Saint Francis).
White scored from 28 yards out on the Titans' sixth offensive play from scrimmage before breaking off a 57-yard run with just over four minutes left in the first quarter. It was his third scoring run of 50 or more yards this season. White added a one-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter to stretch the Titans' lead to 41-0 going into halftime. He scored from 23 yards out with just over 10 minutes left in the third quarter.
White currently has 1,083 yards and 12 touchdowns on 90 rushes this season. He leads all Division III counterparts with a 12.03 rushing yards per carry average.
Prohovic made a major impact on special teams Saturday, recording four tackles (3 solo), forcing a fumble on a Thiel kickoff return, recovering a muffed kickoff at the Thiel 5-yard line and blocking a punt. His kickoff recovery set up a Westminster touchdown on the ensuing play, while his blocked punt helped give the Titans possession at the Thiel 47-yard line late in the second quarter.
Up next:
Westminster will host Washington & Jefferson (8-1, 6-0 PAC) Saturday at Memorial Field inside Harold Burry Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. The College will also celebrate its 19 seniors prior to this Saturday's kickoff against the Presidents.
