Youngstown State senior tailback Tyshon King was named the Missouri Valley Football Conference’s Newcomer of the Week following an impressive debut in the Penguins’ 52-10 season-opening win over Valparaiso last Thursday.
Joining King as Players of the week were QB Nic Baker of Southern Illinois (Offense); S Cole Wisniewski of North Dakota State (Defense) and P Kaedin Steindorf of North Dakota State (Special Teams).
King rushed for 111 yards and had two touchdowns in the Penguins’ 52-10 win over Valparaiso. King scored on a 62-yard run in the first quarter before adding a one-yard score in the fourth period.
He transferred to YSU this fall after spending the previous four seasons at Northern Michigan. Last year he was named a first-team All-GLIAC selection as a running back.
