Quincy, Ill. - After finding the end zone on three occasions, helping lead the Hawks to a 24-20 win over William Jewell College in the most recent edition of the Battle of the Birds on Saturday (Nov. 2), QU running back, Teon Dollard has been named the Toyota Star of the Week for the first time in his career. 

The Toyota Star of the Week aims to highlight the top Quincy University performers for the given week across all 28 Hawk sports. Toyota has been a continued sponsor of QU Athletics, supporting all Hawks to soar to new heights. 

Dollard had a fantastic game on the ground for QU this past weekend, raking up 160 rushing yards on 28 totes to go along with three touchdowns on a pair of goal-line scores supplemented by a 44-yard TD scamper for his longest rush of the day and third score of the contest. 

The Lake City, FL native currently ranks 15th in DII in yards per carry (6.3) while also ranking inside the top-20 nationally (12th) in rushing yards per game at 111.8 per contest. In addition, Dollard is top-five in the conference in touchdowns (10), points per game (10), all purpose yards per game (117.2) and total rushing yards (671) while playing in just six games this season. 

Dollard and the Hawks are back in action this weekend, closing out their GLVC conference schedule at Southwest Baptist on Saturday (Nov. 9). Kickoff from Bolivar, MO is slated for 1:00 PM.
