This week for the Collegian Athletes of the Week, the award will be given to junior quarterback Alex Delton of the football team and junior forward Peyton Williams of the women’s basketball team.
Williams made a layup with less than 30 seconds to seal K-State’s 48-46 exhibition win over Fort Hays State on Nov. 1. Williams finished with eight points, eight rebounds and three blocks.
Delton was faced with the task of replacing the injured Skylar Thompson in the first quarter against TCU on Saturday. The redshirt junior had not played since the first half of a loss to Texas on Sept. 29.
Delton completed 15 of his 25 passes for 155 yards and recorded both of K-State’s touchdowns — one on the ground and one in the air — in the 14-13 loss to TCU.
