Nehemiah Brunson Jr. Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Army-Navy's Nehemiah Brunson Jr., who we judged to be the best player in the league this week.

Landon Schrom put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss).
On the year, Schrom has averaged 6.8 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three receiving touchdowns. This year he is already up to nine.

Big Game from Tua As Army-Navy Won 45-0
Another Army-Navy player making an appearance on this list is Jonah Tua. He picked up two sacks and made five total tackles.
On the year, Tua has averaged 6.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 13 sacks. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 9.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 14.88 rushing yards.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Luke Givens
Luke Givens continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles (3.0 for loss). He is becoming a predictor of La Jolla Country Day's success: when he posts at least four total tackles the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
For the season, Givens has averaged 4.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 6.5 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had one sack.
