DALLAS – University of Delaware football WR Kyre Duplessis was named Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Week after his performance against FIU, the league announced Monday. Duplessis is the third Fightin Blue Hen to earn a CUSA Weekly Award in program history, joining OL Fintan Brose (Week 1) and OL Steven Demboski (Week 3).
On his first-career punt return, Duplessis took it to the house on a 68-yard touchdown return in the Fightin' Blue Hens' 38-16 rout of FIU for the program's first-ever CUSA win. He eclipsed the 100 all-purpose yard plateau with 43 receiving yards on three catches, and 14 rushing yards on one carry.
Following a bye week, the Blue Hens will host WKU for Parents & Family Weekend on Friday, October 3 at 7 p.m. The game will air nationally on CBS Sports Network and will be the first CUSA home game at Delaware Stadium.
