KILLINGWORTH, Conn. - The Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) announced its weekly honors for the week of Oct. 10 and Gallaudet University junior quarterback Brandon Washington (Citronelle, Ala.) shares the Offensive Player of the Week award with Alfred State College running back Jake Palmer.
Washington ran for 124 yards on 13 carries (9.5 yards per rush average) and scored three touchdowns as Gallaudet rolled to a 34-20 home win over Hilbert College. Washington became the first football player to use a heads up device as the AT&T 5G Helmet debuted in this game. Gallaudet's coach was able to call plays from a tablet and it would show up on an eye lens inside the helmet for Washington to read. GU and AT&T made history in the process. On the third play from scrimmage for the Bison, Washington ran 63 yards for GU's first touchdown. He later scored on runs in the second and fourth quarters.
Palmer ran for 211 yards and scored twice as Alfred State defeated Lyon, 41-15.
