COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. --- On Monday afternoon, the RMAC selected and announced its' player of the week selections for football.
 
For the third time this season, Jayden Johannsen was named Offensive Player of the Week, becoming the first player in the DII era to win a weekly RMAC award three times in the same season.
 
Johannsen had another great day through the air as he tied a school record with six touchdown passes in just over three quarters of play before being pulled midway through the third due to a big lead. He added 238 yards through the air.
