LeAnthony Reasnover Named to D3football.com Team of the Week

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- Eureka College junior running back LeAnthony Reasnover (Momence, Ill./Momence H.S.) has been selected to the D3football.com Team of the Week, according to a Tuesday afternoon announcement. Reasnover, who rolled to a career-high 274 rushing yards in Saturday's victory at MacMurray, is the first Red Devil to be named to the website's weekly honor roll since 2012.

Reasnover, who was also named Upper Midwest Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, became the second 3,000-yard rusher in the modern era of Eureka football last Saturday with a 274-yard performance in EC's 37-20 league victory over previously unbeaten MacMurray. His 274 yards were the highest individual EC total since Brett Dyche ran for 286 yards in a 17-14 Illini-Badger Football Conference victory at Concordia (Ill.) on Oct. 26, 1985. Reasnover ended Saturday's contest with 3,201 career rushing yards and needs 104 more rushing yards to surpass Derrick Harris' all-time Eureka record of 3,304 yards set between 1991 and 1993.

After eight games, Reasnover's 1,227 rushing yards in 2017 rank sixth among all NCAA Division III players. His 20 total touchdowns and 120 points scored rank second nationally.

The D3football.com Team of the Week, presented by Scoutware, recognizes the top player at each position from the previous week. The website has covered NCAA Division III football on a national basis for more than two decades. Quarterback Sam Durley and wide receiver Jordan Kindred each earned the honor on Sept. 4, 2012 after Durley went 34-for-52 for an NCAA-record 736 yards and five touchdowns while Kindred hauled in 13 receptions for 235 yards in the Red Devils' 62-55 win over Knox in the inaugural Lincoln Bowl.

Reasnover and the Red Devils will play their final home game of the 2017 regular season Saturday in a noon start against UMAC leader St. Scholastica at McKinzie Field.
