BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana sophomore running back Stevie Scott III earned his first-career Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honor, the conference announced on Monday morning. Scott twice earned B1G Freshman of the Week accolades last season.
The Syracuse, N.Y., native posted his third 100-yard game in four weeks with 116 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries as the Hoosiers (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) downed Northwestern, 34-3, for their fourth-straight Big Ten victory. He added a 20-yard TD reception for his first-career three-score game.
Scott owns nine rushing touchdowns (T-3rd in the Big Ten, T-22nd nationally) and three 100-yard games (4th in the Big Ten) in 2019, and 19 TDs (9th in program history) and nine 100-yarders (T-10th in program history) in his career.
