GREENVILLE, Pa. (Sept. 29) -- The awards keep pouring in for Isaiah Gladney (Jackson, Ala./Jackson) as he was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week Tuesday for his dominant effort against Hiram last Saturday.

Gladney is the ninth Tomcat ever to earn D3football.com Team of the Week laurels and the first since Donelle Thomas in 2023. Gladney is the first offensive player to earn the distinction since DeShawon Bracy in 2016.

Gladney turned in a career performance Saturday, catching nine passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns. His 203 receiving yards rank ninth in Thiel history and are the most by a Tomcat since Bracy totaled 216 yards in 2016.

Gladney and quarterback Na'Jier Howard (Youngstown, Ohio/Struthers) connected on three plays of 40 yards or more. The duo hooked up for a 50-yard completion late in the first half before providing a pair of touchdowns late in the fourth quarter.

With 2:17 remaining, Howard connected with Gladney for a 46-yard touchdown. Gladney then recovered the ensuing onside kick and, on Thiel's next offensive play, hauled in a 40-yard touchdown pass from Howard.

Gladney's 203 receiving yards are the most by a PAC player this season, the 12th-highest mark in DIII in 2026 and third-most in DIII last week. His nine receptions are tied for the third most in the conference this season.

Through four games, Gladney leads the PAC with 371 receiving yards and 24 receptions. Nationally, he ranks 22nd in Division III in receiving yards and is tied for 20th in receptions.

The Tomcats return to action Saturday when they host PAC-foe Allegheny at 7 p.m. at Alumni Stadium.
