By: CSFL Staff / October 5, 2026
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (October 5, 2026) – A game-winning
touchdown throw on the final, multiple interception performances and other individual
highlights shined bright this past weekend and were reflective in the weekly
awards handed out on Monday by the Collegiate Sprint Football League (CSFL) for
Week #3 of the 2026 campaign.
Cornell, Mansfield, Navy and St. Thomas Aquinas each were
represented with a weekly honoree, as the league inches near the midway point
of the current season.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Jake Kear, St. Thomas Aquinas)
Kear passed for 163 yards and three touchdowns, but it was his final scoring
toss that was the highlight of the weekend across the league. He chucked a 41-yard
scoring toss on the final play of the game to lift STAC to a thrilling,
come-from-behind, 27-24, win over Molloy on Friday night.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Matt Machmer, Mansfield)
Machmer intercepted a pair of Caldwell passes, and logged six tackles, to help
spearhead Mansfield’s strong defensive performance in a 41-20 win over Caldwell.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Jason Milo, Cornell)
Milo recorded eight tackles, including one for loss, but came up even bigger as
the linebacker intercepted a pair of passes in Cornell’s victory over D’Youville.
His second interception helped set up Cornell’s eventual game-winning scoring
drive.
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Jon Malatesta, Navy)
Malatesta returned kicks for the Midshipmen in their 41-14 road win over
Chestnut Hill on Saturday, and got in the act offensively by catching three
passes, including two for TDs.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK (Beck Berry, Cornell)

Mariani.
