Bronx, N.Y. -

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 five 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.

In Fordham's 36-31 loss at Holy Cross on Saturday, Wayne became the first quarterback in the 110-year history of Fordham football to rush for more than 100-yards in a game, finishing with 108 yards on 20 carries. He also completed 19 of 30 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, both to senior tight end Stephen Skelton.

On the year, Wayne leads the Rams with 364 yards on 75 carries (4.9 yards/carry) with four touchdowns while also completing 95 of 156 passes for 1,000 yards and four touchdowns. He leads the Patriot League in total offense (272.8 yards/game), is second in rushing yards/game (72.8) and third in passing efficiency (120.6).

The Rams will continue their 2010 schedule on Saturday, October 9th, as they travel to Bethlehem, Penn., to face the Lehigh University Mountain Hawks in a Patriot League match-up at 12:30 p.m.
