Demetreus Jalepes, Bridgewater, Jr., Running Back

Jalepes, a junior from Martinsburg, W.Va., put together a 190 all-purpose yard day with a pair of touchdowns - including the game-deciding score - in Bridgewater's 28-21 victory over Randolph-Macon to clinch the ODAC championship. Jalepes average 14 yards a carry as he ran for 168 yards on 12 touches in addition to catching three passes for 22 yards and another score. He got the scoring started with a seven-yard touchdown reception with 3:13 on the first quarter clock. Jalepes second touchdown was arguably the biggest play of the game, if not the longest. After Randolph-Macon had pulled to within a score at 21-13 with 9:39 to play in regulation, Jalepes carried the ball on the first play on the ensuing drive and broke out for a 71-yard touchdown run. The rush, the longest of his collegiate career, gave BC the cushion it needed to remain unbeated on the season at 9-0. For the year, Jalepes is first in the ODAC in rushing touchdowns (9) and second in overall TDs (11) and points (68). He is fourth in the ODAC in rushing yards (722) and yards per game (80.2). His 5.8 yards per carry ranks third among qualified runners.
