RICHMOND, Va. – Elon junior running back Jimmyll Williams was voted as CAA Co-Offensive Player of the Week Monday morning by the conference office. Williams led the Phoenix ground attack with a career-best 172 rushing yards in a 41-20 win over Hampton last Saturday.  
 
The Durham native put the Pirates away in the second half with 59 rushing yards on the final Phoenix drive alone. His rushing total is the most by a Phoenix rusher since Jalen Hampton put up 177 yards against Hampton in 2022. The Hillside High School product rushed the ball 13 times against the Pirates, good for 13.2 yards per carry. Williams now leads the Phoenix in rushing yards this season with 336.  

 

Williams' effort highlight an Elon rushing attack that totaled 288 rushing yards in the CAA victory. It was the Phoenix's most rushing yards in a CAA game since tallying 319 against Rhode Island in 2018. The Phoenix currently ranks second in the CAA with just over 192 rushing yards per game.  

 

Williams shared the CAA's weekly offensive award with Maine quarterback Carter Peevy.
