WISE - - Following a season-opening 54-0 win over Virginia University-Lynchburg, UVA Wise football student-athletes took home a pair of South Atlantic Conference awards Monday. Quarterback Lendon Redwine was named the league's AstroTurf Offensive Player of the Week, while linebacker DeQuandre Taylor took home AstroTurf Defensive Player of the Week honors. The weekly awards are the first of the career for each student-athlete.

Redwine was on point Saturday as the signal-caller completed 24-of-34 pass attempts for 326 yards and six touchdowns. The yardage and touchdowns were new career highs for the Dobyns Bennett High School graduate who began the game by completing his first seven pass attempts.

Taylor was a menace on defense as the linebacker tallied a pair of sacks to spearhead a unit that set a school and conference record with 13 sacks. Overall, the Charlottesville, Va. product amassed seven tackles, three tackles for loss, two sacks and a forced fumble.

UVA Wise will be back in action Saturday at 7:30 p.m. when the team visits East Tennessee State.
