FREELAND, Mich. – Olivet College junior Braden Black has been tabbed the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Week for football.

Black completed 30-of-36 passes for 350 yards and three touchdowns in leading the Comets to a 44-14 win over Aurora (Ill.) University Sept. 19 at the Cutler Athletic Complex. He also had 10 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown. Black's 350 passing yards and 412 total offensive yards are the fourth-most, and the 30 pass completions tie for the third-most in school history for a single-game. He now holds the top four marks in each of these categories in school history.
