DALLAS (Oct. 7, 2019) - After a sensational performance against UMass this past Saturday, Maurice Alexander was named the Conference USA Special Team Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
The weekly conference award is the first of Alexander's career, while it marks the first league laurel for the Panthers this season. After his stellar play last year, Alexander was honored as a C-USA First Teamer for special teams following the 2018 season.
Alexander electrified FIU on Saturday night with a 90-yard punt return touchdown in the second quarter of the Panthers' 44-0 victory over Massachusetts.
