Hutchinson CC Sports Information

Hutchinson Community College sophomore running back Dylan Kedzior had a career night in a nationally ranked matchup at Gowans Stadium.

Now, one day after earning a second-straight Jayhawk Conference weekly honor, the NJCAA was named this week's Division I Football National Offensive Player of the Week.

Kedzior, a 6-foot, 205-pound third-year running back from Claremore, Oklahoma, produced 234 total yards and four touchdowns to lead the No. 2-ranked Blue Dragons to a 27-19 Jayhawk Conference victory over No. 9 Butler on Saturday in Hutchinson.

Kedzior rushed for a career-high 230 yards on 28 carries with rushing touchdowns 23, 17 and 7 yards. He also caught a highlight-reel 4-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to tie the game at 13-all.

Kedzior is the first Blue Dragon to have a 200-yard rushing game since Anwar Lewis vs. Fort Scott last season. He is the first Blue Dragon with three rushing touchdowns in one game since Lewis vs. Garden City in the KJCCC Championship game one year ago.

Kedzior is the second Blue Dragon to earn NJCAA National Player of the Week honors this season. Quarterback Dylan Laible was the Week 1 Division I National Offensive Player of the Week after throwing for five touchdowns in a 42-0 win over Navarro College in opening weekend at Gowans Stadium.

The Blue Dragons (5-0) travel to Dodge City at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
