ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Freshman running back Nick Herman has earned the Pioneer Football League's Offensive Player of the Week award, the conference announced today.
Herman pieced together the FCS' eight-best rushing performance of 2025 in a 17-10 Drake win at Morehead State that secured sole possession of the 2025 PFL title and the league's automatic bid. He finished the game with 253 yards on 27 carries for only the second 200-yard rushing performance in the PFL this season. Herman's day included a 77-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that provided what proved to be the game-winning touchdown.
