LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- NM State sophomore quarterback Dino Maldonado has been named the College Sports Madness Independent Offensive Player of the Week.
Maldonado completed 24-of-32 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 43-35 victory over South Carolina State.
With his three scores the signal caller became the first Aggie to throw for multiple touchdown passes since Josh Adkins threw three touchdowns at Liberty to close out the 2019 season (Nov. 30).
The California native also became the first Aggie to throw for 300 yard in their first-career start since JJ McDermott threw for 319 yards against Louisiana Tech on Oct.
