SAN ANTONIO -- A five-touchdown performance has earned University of the Incarnate Word quarterback Emmett Brown Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors, the conference announced Monday morning.

In a 38-6 blowout win over McNeese Saturday, Brown completed 19-of-27 passes for 283 yards and four first-half touchdown passes to four different receivers. He also added a game-high 79 yards rushing on 10 carries while capping his dominant performance with a 38-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

It was a career-best night for Brown, who enters the week first in the Southland and seventh in the FCS with 2,204 passing yards. He's throw for 14 touchdown passes while rushing for another four.

He is the first Cardinal to win a Southland weekly award since Declan Williams was named Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 29, 2025.

UIW, which is on a two-game winning streak, is now 4-4 with a 3-2 record in the SLC. It will host Northwestern State at 1 p.m. Saturday in the final game of a three-game home stand.
