MIAMI — FIU football's Kejon Owens and Shamir Sterlin were tabbed by Conference USA (CUSA) as Players of the Week for their performances in FIU's Shula Bowl victory, as announced on Monday afternoon.
Owens, a redshirt senior running back from Miami, was named the CUSA Offensive Player of the Week while Sterlin, a redshirt freshman safety from Port St. Lucie, Fla., earned Freshman of the Week. This marks the first time in FIU's CUSA era (since 2013) that the Panthers have earned multiple Players of the Week.
Owens delivered his best outing as a Panther in FIU's 38-28 victory over rival-Florida Atlantic on Saturday night.
