For the third time in his career and the first time this season, Central Methodist University sophomore quarterback Bryant Jackson (Lee's Summit, Mo.) was selected as the Heart of America Athletic Conference Football Offensive Player-of-the-Week, announced Monday.
���
Jackson led Central Methodist to a school record of 662 yards of total offense, and accounted for all five of CMU's touchdowns in the Eagles' 38-17 win over Avila University Saturday. Jackson rushed for a career-high 104 yards and three touchdowns, while completing 26-of-58 passes for 453 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
���
CMU's 662 yards of offense eclipsed the previous record of 645 set in a win over Benedictine College in 2009. Jackson has now thrown for 4,099 yards in his CMU career, with one game remaining in his sophomore season. Jackson needs just 14 pass completions to surpass the CMU record for career pass completions of 379 set by Tom Stine, who played for Central Methodist from 1975-78.

Jackson was named the HAAC Offensive Player-of-the-Week twice in 2009. As the winner at the conference level, he will be among the players considered for the NAIA National Offensive Player-of-the-Week released later this afternoon.
