MILWAUKEE, Wis. (naccsports.org) --- Benedictine University junior Jack Hayden (Woodstock, Ill.), Concordia University Chicago junior Joron Brown (St. Joseph, Mich.), and Lakeland University junior McKynzee Schepp (Marshall, Wis.) have been named Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) Football Student-Athletes of the Week for the week of Sept. 8-14, 2025, as selected by the league's athletics communications professionals.

Defense --- Jack Hayden, Jr., DL, Benedictine University
Hayden, a junior defensive lineman, posted 2.5 sacks in a 20-13 win over Loras that pushed Benedictine to 2-0 overall. He finished with eight tackles (three solo) from the defensive line to tie for the team lead as the Eagles limited the Duhawks to just 38 yards rushing on 25 attempts - an average of 1.5 yards per carry.

Offense --- Joron Brown, Jr., RB, Concordia University Chicago
Brown, a junior running back, led the Concordia Chicago offense with 129 yards on 16 carries and three touchdowns in the Cougars' 35-14 win at Manchester (Ind.). He tied this season's NACC single-game high with his three rushing touchdowns and recorded the league's longest run from scrimmage this season with a 53-yard touchdown scamper in the second quarter.

Special Teams --- McKynzee Schepp, Jr., PK, Lakeland University
Schepp, a junior placekicker, made all four PAT kick attempts in Lakeland's 29-28 loss to Greenville. She became the first female to score points in a football game for Lakeland and is believed to be the first for a NACC program since the conference began sponsoring football in 2008.
