Week 10 Stats: 188 KO yards, 95 KO return for a TD
Wadley earns NEC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for the first time this season after he racked up a slew of kick return yards in Merrimack’s non-conference finale at UMass on Saturday. The sophomore corralled a kickoff and returned it 95 yards to the house to end a Minutemen scoring spree and double the Warriors’ point total in the fourth quarter. Wadley finished the game with 188 kickoff return yards, which marks the most by an NEC returner this season and is a career-best mark for the Garden State native. His three kick return touchdowns are the most in the league, while his 574 kickoff return yards and 38.3 yards-per-game average lead the NEC by a wide margin.
