Offensive Player of the Week presented by Progressive: Jack Plummer, Orlando Storm, QB
For the second straight week, an Orlando Storm player was named Offensive Player of the Week. Jack Plummer delivered another standout performance in Orlando’s postseason-clinching victory over Dallas in Fort Hood.
In the first professional football game ever played on a military base, Plummer led the offense to 31 points and 367 total yards. Orlando converted an impressive 11-of-16 third downs, while Plummer completed 67% of his passes for 238 yards.
The signature moment came in the third quarter, when Plummer kept the ball on an option play and burst free for a 71-yard touchdown run — the longest rushing play by any player in the UFL this season. He added a second rushing touchdown later in the contest.
Now postseason bound, Plummer and the Storm prepare for their home finale against the DC Defenders Friday night at 8:00 PM ET on FOX.
NOBULL Defensive Player of the Week: Tae Crowder, Birmingham Stallions, LB
The Stallions continue to dominate the weekly awards, as Tae Crowder marks the third straight week a Birmingham player has earned the honor.
Crowder has helped anchor the Stallions’ defensive resurgence during their late-season turnaround. In Birmingham’s key victory over the Aviators, Crowder recorded his fourth double-digit tackle game of the season while helping hold the league’s top rushing offense to just three points.
Crowder finished the day with six solo tackles, two tackles for loss, and a game-sealing interception. He currently leads the UFL with 64 total tackles.
Crowder and the Stallions will face the Aviators once again this Saturday at 3:00 PM ET on ABC.
Special Teams Player of the Week presented by Dynasty Financial Partners: Tanner Brown, Louisville Kings, K
Tanner Brown earned his second Special Teams Player of the Week honor of the season following a historic showing in Week Eight.
Brown went a perfect four-for-four on field goals and added two extra points for a 15-point performance.
His defining moment came early in the second quarter, when head coach Chris Redman gave him the green light from 60 yards out. Brown drilled the kick with room to spare, delivering the first four-point field goal in Louisville franchise history and becoming just the third kicker in UFL history to convert from 60-plus yards for four points.
Brown also tied the UFL single-season record with 22 made field goals through just eight weeks. He’ll look to break the mark this Sunday at home at 3:00 PM ET on FOX.
