Atkins Tabbed NJAC Offensive Rookie of the Week

Pitman, N.J. (11/6/07) - Freshman fullback Sean Atkins (Perth Amboy, N.J.) was tabbed as the New Jersey Athletic Conference Rookie Offensive Player of the Week as announced by the conference office.

Atkins played a key role in the Cougars' 40-7 NJAC road win at Western Connecticut. He rushed for a career-high 75 yards on 14 carries and four touchdowns in the victory. His scoring runs of 2, 5, 1, and 6 yards sparked Kean to its first NJAC road win of the season. Atkins, who missed all of the 2006 season due to injury, was a big part of Kean's rushing attack which totaled 376 yards on the ground in the win over the Colonials.
