The Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats’ Quentin Williams registered two career highs over the weekend and has been named this week’s Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week. The announcement came from the MEAC office Monday, Sept. 29, in Norfolk, Va.
Williams, a 6-foot, 190-pound senior quarterback from Tampa, Fla., helped No. 14 Bethune-Cookman erase a 27-20 fourth-quarter deficit against in-state opponent Florida Tech. He contributed on three of Bethune-Cookman’s five touchdowns, including a game-winning 67-yard strike to Frank Brown late in the fourth quarter, allowing the Wildcats to take a 34-27 lead over the Panthers.
Overall, Williams connected for a career-high-tying 16 completions on 28 attempts, and registered a career-high 222 yards through the air, along with two passing touchdowns, both to sophomore receiver Frank Brown. He also scampered for a rushing touchdown (tying the game midway through the fourth quarter at 27 all), capping 15 rushing attempts for 31 yards.
This is Williams’ first Offensive Player of the Week award in 2014, as well as the first of its kind for any Wildcats player.
