CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Winston-Salem State University football standouts Sean Walker, Jr. and Christopher "CJ" Brown have been named Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Football Players of the Week following their performances in the Rams' 21-14 road victory over Lincoln University (Pa.) on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Walker Jr. was named CIAA Receiver of the Week, while Brown earned Defensive Lineman of the Week honors. Their performances helped Winston-Salem State secure its second consecutive victory, extending the Rams' winning streak to two games.

Walker Jr. led the Rams' receiving attack with four receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown against the Lions. He averaged 28.3 yards per reception and recorded a long reception of 75 yards. His third-quarter touchdown reception gave Winston-Salem State a 14-7 lead, providing a pivotal scoring play in the Rams' road victory.

Brown made his presence felt on the defensive side, finishing with five solo tackles, two tackles for loss totaling 9 yards and one sack for an 8-yard loss. He also recorded a pass breakup, contributing across multiple areas of the defensive effort.
