ST. LOUIS - The competitiveness in the McShane household of Freeport, Illinois, is heating up.
A week after Western Illinois' senior returner Steve McShane earned Missouri Valley Special Teams Player of the Week honors, his brother Deion, a freshman receiver at UNI, picked up MVFC Newcomer of the Week honors after he caught seven passes, including a touchdown and racked up 117 yards in Saturday's 44-0 win over Hampton (Va.).
Deion's eye-popping day began on the first drive when he caught a 36-yard pass from Eli Dunne to the 19-yard line which would set up a 12-yard touchdown pass to Elias Nissen.
