The Emporia State football team has been honored by the MIAA for the third consecutive week to open up the season. Kobe Holley is the MIAA Football Defensive Player of the Week while Caden Dodson is the Special Teams Player of the Week. Holley led the Hornets with nine tackles at defensive back and an interception in ESU’s road win at #4 Pittsburg State last week. Dodson averaged nearly 49 yards per punt last week for the Hornets while connecting on a 25-yard field goal in the first half. It is ESU’s first special teams award of the season and the second-straight week that a Hornet defender has been honored.
