Zeke Harris repeats as CCIW Defensive Player of the Week

10/12/2026 11:04:00 PM

Wheaton, Ill. - Wheaton junior Zeke Harris has been named the CCIW Defensive Player of the Week in football for the second-consecutive week. This is the fifth weekly accolade from the conference for the Thunder this season. Seth Kortenhoeven has won the CCIW Special Teams Student-Athlete of the Week twice, Mark Forcucci has picked up the offensive award once and Harris has the two-consecutive selections.

Harris had a game for the ages on Saturday in Wheaton's historic 13-10 victory at No. 1 North Central. He registered a game-high 18 total tackles (eight solos), the most tackles by a Wheaton player since 2014. He recorded six and a half tackles for loss (minus-28 yards), including one and a half. Harris' interception at the North Central 40-yard with 1:05 remaining in the game set up Caleb Ryan's game-winning field goal with 5.9 seconds left in the contest.

The top-ranked Thunder hosts Carroll next Saturday at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
