CLEVELAND, Ohio – Ohio football graduate student quarterback Parker Navarro was named the Mid-American Conference Male Scholar Athlete of the Week, the league announced today (Oct. 29). 

Navarro led the Bobcats to their first road game victory of the season against the Eastern Michigan Eagles on Saturday (Oct. 25). The graduate student set multiple single-game highs, including completions (23), completion percentage (82.1) and passing yards (315). Notably, this matchup marked Navarro's first game passing for over 300 yards. The quarterback threw two touchdowns against EMU, both of which were caught by junior wide receiver Chase Hendricks.
