LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Slippery Rock University running back JayJay Jordan was named the Western Division Offensive Athlete of the Week when the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference announced its weekly football honorees Monday.
 
Jordan, a senior from Reading, Pennsylvania, picks up his third PSAC Athlete of the Week award this fall for his performance in The Rock's 42-26 win at Indiana (Pa.) Saturday.
 
He ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns and finished the day with a game-high 170 all-purpose yards. Jordan averaged 7.7 yards per carry on 18 carries and scored his 17th and 18th rushing touchdowns of the season and his 20th total touchdown on the year. He currently ranks No. 1 among all players in Division II in both rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns and is just one touchdown shy of tying the SRU single-season record (21).
 
Jordan has run for at least 130 yards in five of seven games this season and has scored at least two touchdowns in five games as well. He has scored at least one touchdown in 13 straight games dating back to last season.
 
Slippery Rock improved to 7-0 overall and 4-0 in the PSAC West and took over sole possession of first place in the PSAC West with the win last week. The Rock will face the No. 2 team in the division at home this Saturday in the annual Homecoming game when Lock Haven visits for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
