Here at RNG, we are continuing to celebrate the high school talents interviewed who have been a part of our history now making their mark at the collegiate level. Week 9 of the college football season saw one near top-10 upset and No. 6 Oklahoma State go down. Outside the top-10, four ranked teams lost, three in upset fashion.
The RNG College Football Player of the Week is Clemson true freshman quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei (St. John Bosco, CA). With starter Trevor Lawrence missing the Boston College game due to a positive COVID-19 test, Uiagalelei stepped in to rally the No. 1 team in the nation for a 34-28 win. Uiagalelei completed 30-of-41 passes for 342 yards with two scores without throwing an interception and rushed for 25 yards with one touchdown.
