STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Tarleton State Football's Tre Page III collected another honor on Monday, named the United Athletic Conference Freshman of the Week for his performance against Southern Utah. Earlier Monday, Page was named the Stats Perform FCS National Freshman Player of the Week.
 
Page was named the UAC Freshman of the Week, becoming the sixth Tarleton State player this season to earn a conference weekly award.
 
Page recorded 198 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries (10.4 YPC) in Tarleton State's 52-42 home conference win over Southern Utah. The Texans improved to 6-0 overall and 2-0 in UAC play. This was a career-night for the redshirt freshman, who set a new career-high in rushing yards (198), plus tied his career-high in rushing touchdowns (two, also Aug. 23 at Portland State this season).
 
Across the UAC this week, Page had the most rush yards, was one of two players with two rushing touchdowns and was one of three players with two touchdowns scored overall.
 
Page's 198 rushing yards mark the tied-10th most in a single game across the FCS this season, and were the fifth most in a single-game across the FCS this week. He is now fifth in the nation in rush yards this season (673), and tied-12th in rushing touchdowns (six). He's fourth in yards per carry at 7.83.
 
The Texans have started 6-0 for the first time in their D1 era and for the first time since 2019. They've won six straight games, matching their longest winning streak in their D1 era. The Texans have scored 50-plus points in four straight games for the first time in program history.
