Big Rapids, Mich. - For the second time this fall, Ferris State University redshirt freshman quarterback Carson Gulker (Zeeland/West) has been tabbed as the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Football Offensive Player of the Week.

Gulker had a big day as the Bulldogs closed out the regular-season with a decisive 40-14 road win at Wayne State on Saturday in Detroit.

In snowy weather, Gulker ran for a game-high 189 yards rushing on 26 carries, averaging 7.3 yards per rush, while totaling three scores on the ground. He also completed nine-of-17 throws for 197 yards and a score.
