IRVING, Texas – The American Athletic Conference has announced the winners of the league’s weekly football honors from Week 3 of the 2024 season.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Seth Henigan • Sr. • QB • Memphis
Henigan completed 25 of 38 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns against one interception to lead then-No. 25 Memphis to a 20-12 win at Florida State, keeping the Tigers unbeaten at 3-0 on the year. Henigan’s two TD passes extended his streak to 40 consecutive games with a touchdown pass – or every game of his career. His final completion came on a key fourth down play near midfield with 5:25 that allowed the Tigers to take an additional 2:39 off the clock.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Chandler Martin • Jr. • LB • Memphis
Martin led a Memphis defense that limited Florida State to 238 total yards, 11 first downs and 2-of-12 efficiency on third down in the Tigers’ 20-12 win in Tallahassee. Martin had a team-high eight tackles to go with 2.5 tackles for loss, a sack, a fumble recovery and a quarterback hurry. His first-quarter fumble recovery led to a field goal, giving the Tigers a lead they would not relinquish as Memphis improved to 3-0.
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Michael O’Shaughnessy • Gr. • P • Charlotte
A transfer from Michigan State, O’Shaughnessy averaged 50.8 yards on four punts to help Charlotte take a 27-26 win against Gardner-Webb. O’Shaughnessy hit two punts of at least 50 yards, including a 73-yard kick, and put three of his four punts inside the Bulldog 20-yard line.
