SELINSGROVE, PA – Susquehanna University freshman halfback Anthony Edwards has been selected as the team’s Gus Weber Crusader Player of the Week, sponsored by the Golden Corral Family Steak House along Routes 11 & 15 in Shamokin Dam.

Edwards (Warrington, PA/Central Bucks West H.S.) ran for a career-high 103 yards on 17 carries and caught four passes for 24 yards in the Crusaders’ 55-31 loss to Albright at Lopardo Stadium last Saturday afternoon.

Prior to becoming the first Susquehanna freshman to run for 100 yards since Jason Eck recorded 103 yards against FDU-Florham in 2001, Edwards had carried the ball a total of 24 times for 110 yards in the Crusaders’ first seven games.

The Golden Corral will donate a check for $100 in the name of Edwards to the charity of his choice during Friday's Quarterback Club luncheon at noon in the Apple Community Room of the Garrett Sports Complex on the Susquehanna campus.

Through seven years of sponsorship of the Gus Weber Player of the Week award, Golden Corral has donated $6,200 to charity in the names of Susquehanna players.

The Player of the Week award is named after former Susquehanna University president Gustave Weber, who served as president of Susquehanna for more than 18 years and was a former standout player at Wagner College. He was an avid booster of Crusader athletics, and in particular the football team, which he coached for the final two games of the 1965 season.

The Crusaders (3-5 overall, 3-4 Middle Atlantic Conference) travel to Lebanon Valley (1-7 overall, 1-6 MAC) on Saturday at 1 p.m.
