NMU football: Cox award

MARQUETTE – Freshman Tyquan Cox has been named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week.

Cox earned the award after a standout performance that saw him answer a Wayne State University touchdown with a 99-yard kickoff return touchdown in the first quarter of Saturday’s game.

He finished the game with three returns for a total of 145 yards. He made such an impact early in the game, the Warriors stopped kicking the ball deep and settled for short kicks to reduce his chances of another return.

The Wildcats will head to Michigan Technological University Saturday to play for the Miners Cup.
