| By:
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – North Dakota left tackle Easton Kilty was one of five players to earn Missouri Valley Football Conference Player of the Week accolades on Monday, earning the title of Offensive Lineman of the Week.

Kilty helped North Dakota pile up 652 yards of total offense in the 55-7 win over Drake on Saturday. With the help of his blocking, the Fighting Hawks registered 364 yards through the air and 288 yards on the ground. It is the most offensive yardage put up by UND since Oct. 23, 2021, when North Dakota racked up 607 yards of total offense in the 34-10 win over Western Illinois.

Quarterbacks Tommy Schuster (22-for-26, 262 yards, 3 touchdowns) and Trey Feeney (4-for-5, 102 yards, 1 touchdown) both threw for over 100 yards in the contest. It marked the first time since Aug. 31, 2019, that the Hawks had two quarterbacks throw for 100+ yards. That game was a 47-7 win over the Bulldogs and both Nate Ketteringham and Andrew Zimmerman both threw for over 100 yards.

Last week, Kilty graded out at 76 percent. He was 88 on assignment, 67 on technique and 74 on his finish.

The Fighting Hawks will host the Lumberjacks of Northern Arizona this Saturday. Kickoff between UND and NAU is set for 3 p.m. The game will be televised on Midco Sports Two and carried on the Home of Economy Radio Network.
