Bronx, N.Y. - For the second consecutive week, Fordham University sophomore quarterback Blake Wayne (Concord, Calif./De LaSalle) was honored by the College Football Performance Awards as a national NCAA FCS honorable mention quarterback performer of the week it was announced today. He is the third Ram to be honored in the past six weeks, joining Patrick Murray, who was twice named a national NCAA FCS honorable mention punter performer of the week, and Jason Caldwell, who earned the honor at wide receiver.
