LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -- Helping to guide the IUP football team to its fifth Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) championship, graduate QB Mak Sexton was named the league's Western Division Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.
 
Sexton was named the PSAC Championship game MVP, going 19-for-29 through the air for 169 yards and three passing touchdowns. He found nine different targets in the victory, throwing touchdown passes to three different receivers.

Sexton leads the PSAC and ranks third in the nation in passing efficiency (173.5). He is sixth in the country in passing touchdowns (29) and continues climbing up the IUP single season passing chart in multiple categories.
 
Sexton is eighth in program history for completions in a season (179), tied for fourth in passing touchdowns (29), and eighth in passing yards (2,555).
