SEWARD, Neb. – For the second time in three weeks, senior Austin Jablonski has been recognized by the GPAC. On Monday (Nov. 4), the league office named Jablonski as the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Offensive Player of the Week following the Concordia University, Nebraska Football team’s 42-6 win over Hastings. Jablonski earned the same award on Oct. 21. Head Coach Patrick Daberkow’s squad has raked in five conference player of the week awards in 2024.
As part of the blowout win over Hastings, Jablonski surpassed 100 receiving yards for the fifth time this season. He grabbed eight receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns while burning the Bronco secondary. His touchdown catches from quarterback DJ McGarvie covered 67 and 42 yards, respectively. The Lincoln Pius X High School alum also rushed four times for 20 yards. The performance pushed Jablonski over 1,000 yards receiving for the season, making him the first player in program history to reach that number in back-to-back years.
On the program’s all-time receiving lists, the All-American Jablonski ranks second in receptions (197), second in receiving yards (2,627) and fourth in receiving touchdowns (20). The program record holder in each of those categories is Korrell Koehlmoos for receptions (221) and receiving yards (2,894) and Jared Garcia for receiving touchdowns (35).
