NEWARK, Del. – University of Delaware quarterback Nolan Henderson has been named the CAA Offensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday. The award, which is Henderson's second this season and third of his career, recognizes his performance during Saturday's 49-17 CAA victory over Monmouth.
In just three quarters of play, Henderson finished 22-of-28 passing for 323 yards and five touchdowns while also rushing for a score. He had three touchdown passes to three different receivers in the first quarter and had accounted for five total scores in the first half as the Blue Hens built a 42-10 lead at the midway point. His two-yard rushing touchdown was his second on the year.
For the second time this season, Henderson tied the Delaware record with five touchdown passes and becomes the first player in program history to do it twice in their career. He now has passed for 25 touchdowns on the season, which is tied for the second most in program history (Andy Hall, 2003). Henderson now has 49 career touchdown passes, which moved him into second all-time at Delaware behind only Matt Nagy (58).
This is Henderson's third career player of the week nod and second this season as he was also named the CAA Offensive Player of the Week following Delaware's 42-21 win over Rhode Island in Week Three. The Blue Hens have won four total weekly awards in 2022 as Johnny Buchanan has twice been named the defensive player of the week.
