Illinois College's senior wide receiver, Collin Brunstein, has been recognized as the Midwest Conference Offensive Performer of the Week. This announcement was made by the league following Brunstein's remarkable performance in his final game of the season.

Brunstein, hailing from Jacksonville, Illinois, delivered an exceptional display on Saturday during the team's season finale. He caught 14 passes for a record-breaking 335 yards and scored four touchdowns. Additionally, he returned a kick-off for 85 yards, contributing to Illinois College's commanding 96-14 victory over Beloit.
