Even as the D2 football regular season reaches it's destination, some players are still putting their stamp on the 2025 campaign. 

Fun fact, Minnesota Duluth is the most northerly D2 football school in the nation. It's picture-perfect for the kind of rugged gridiron viking that Kyle Walljasper continues to be for the Bulldogs. This week, Walljasper accounted for 7 touchdowns as UMD took down UMary. 

True freshman quarterback Elliott Larner rushed for 171 yards with 5 total touchdowns, as Michigan Tech took down Northern Michigan, one week after the Wildcats won their first game since 2022. 

Elsewhere, Jarius Stewart was the workhorse of the week, running 33 times for 373 yards, as Eastern New Mexico took down Western New Mexico. 

On the defensive side, Harding notched their third shutout of the season. Virginia Union linebacker Lamumba Howard had 18 total tackles, 15 solo(!), 2 sacks and a quarterback hurry as VUU defeated Bowie State.
