CHARLOTTE, N.C. - After helping the #4 Northwest Mississippi Community College football team to their third consecutive MACCC and Region 23 title, freshman kicker and punter Will Uselton earned his first career National Player of the Week honor from the NJCAA. 

Uselton finished the game with a pair of field goal makes from 24 and 25 yards, which proved to be the difference in a 33-29 victory over #9 Hinds Community College, while also going 3-for-4 on point-after attempts. The Hernando native was also fantastic in the punting game, pinning the Eagles inside the 20-yard line three times and averaging over 37 yards per kick. 

On the season, Uselton has been strong for the Rangers, going 49-of-50 on PAT attempts this season, 11-of-18 on field goals with a long of 43 yards against Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, and averaged 41 yards per punt with 38 attempts on the year, pinning 14 of them inside of the 20-yard line and having three go more than 50 yards. 

The Northwest football team will be heading to Hutchinson, Kansas, to take on the Hutchinson Community College Blue Dragons (11-0) in the NJCAA Division I Football semifinal on November 20, with kickoff scheduled for 6 p.m. The game will be viewable on ESPN+.
