NJCAA PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
The National Underclassmen would like to recognize some of the top Junior College performers from this past week. We are looking for players whose team participates in the NJCAA. Their performance needs to aid their respective school in victory to be considered for this weekly award. Just remember if your goal of playing FBS or FCS football is derailed junior college football may be the avenue to get it back on track. All former NUC participants have an asterisk by their name.
