MAC Football Offensive Player of the Week
Chip Trayanum, Toledo, RB
Sr., Akron, OH (Archbishop Hoban)
Chip Trayanum rushed for a career-high 163 yards on 14 carries in Toledo's 45-21 victory over Western Kentucky. Trayanum scored his first two rushing touchdowns as a Rocket, a one-yarder in the first quarter and a 75-yard sprint in the third quarter. The two rushing TDs tied his career high, which he accomplished twice at Arizona State in 2020, and the three total touchdowns marked a career high. Trayanum added a TD reception in the first quarter, the first of his career. His 75-yard TD run was Toledo's longest run from scrimmage since Jacquez Stuart went 80 yards for a score vs. Wyoming at the 2023 Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl on Dec. 30, 2023.
