September 9, 2026 Forrest Freeman

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Sports Writers Association has announced the second College Players of the Week for the 2026-27 academic year on Wednesday afternoon.

FOOTBALL: University of Memphis running back Jaylin Carter picked up the TSWA Football Offensive Player of the Week. He posted 183 yards on the ground and four touchdowns in a 42-24 win over Arkansas State.

Late in the third quarter, he posted a 74-yard run to cap off a quick two-play drive to extend the Tigers’ lead to 35-24 Later, he added a 24-yard score in the fourth quarter for insurance.

The 183 yards was the most in a game for the Tigers since Greg Desrosiers Jr.'s 204 last season and the four rushing scores marked the most since Mario Anderson Jr.’s four against North Texas in 2024.

Carter enters Week 2 as the FBS leader in total rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.

Tennessee’s Xavier Gilliam was chosen as the Defensive Player of the Week. In the Volunteers’ 56-9 win over the Paladins of Furman, he collected a team-high six tackles, three sacks for a loss of 14 yards, five tackles for a loss of 16 yards and one forced fumble.

The Penn State transfer became the first Volunteer with three-plus sacks in a game since Darrell Taylor had four on Nov. 10, 2018, against Kentucky.

He became the second Vol with at least five TFLs in a game since 2005, joining Aaron Beasley, who did so on Sept. 9, 2023, against Austin Peay.

Gilliam is just the third SEC player since 2005 with at least three sacks and five TFLs in a single contest. He joins Ole Miss' Suntarine Perkins (Oct. 26, 2024, against Oklahoma) and Missouri's Blaze Alldredge (Sept. 4, 2021, against Central Michigan).

Gilliam led all of the FBS in tackles for loss in Week, and he tied for first in sacks.

MEN’S SOCCER: Miller Lashlee of Memphis was recognized as the Men’s Soccer Player of the Week. Finishing with three goals and two assists, he recorded a brace in the Tigers’ 5-1 win at Butler on Aug. 31.

On Sept. 4, he added four more points, contributing on all three goals scored in a 3-1 win versus UNC Asheville. Assisting on two of the three goals, his strike in the 73rd minute gave the Tigers the lead as they went on a 3-0 scoring run in a 10-minute span in the second half.

WOMEN’S SOCCER: Trevecca Nazarene’s Elsa Bengtsson was honored as the TSWA Women’s Soccer Player of the Week. Over the course of two matches, she scored six points thanks to two goals and assists each.

Against Kentucky Wesleyan on Sept. 3, her goal in the 17th minute tied the contest at 1-1. Later in the 84th minute, she made the game-winning pass to Anny Mitra to give the Trojans the 3-2 road victory.

On Sept. 5 in a setback at Thomas More, she struck the back of the net in the 85th minute for the equalizing goal in a 3-2 loss.

VOLLEYBALL: Kelsey Schenck from Lipscomb University was selected as the Volleyball Player of the Week. Instrumental in the Bisons’ 2-1 week that saw them defeat South Alabama and Florida State, Schenck averaged 111 assists with 33 digs, 10 kills and five service aces.

After totaling 30 assists and 13 digs on Sept. 3 against then No. 16 Kansas, she posted 44 assists, 12 digs and four kills in Lipscomb's four-set win over Florida State on Sept. 5, the Bisons’ first win over a Power 4 opponent since 2023.

In the sweep of South Alabama, Schenck polished off the weekend with 37 assists, eight digs and four kills. At the service line, while matching her career-best in aces, she did not record a service error in 22 attempts.
