Conference record with a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Montclair State, junior Aiden Barlett earned a slot on the D3football.com Team of the Week, the website announced on Tuesday, Sept. 15.
Barlett notched the 94-yard return on his first touch of the game, getting the ball at Lycoming's six and finding the right sideline for the score, the Landmark's longest kickoff return since 2023. He finished the game with four returns for 163 yards, an average of 40.8 yards per kick.
He also recovered an onside kick attempt in the fourth quarter and made five tackles, added a breakup and notched an interception as a starting cornerback.
Barlett leads the Warriors with two touchdowns this season, as he posted a 20-yard fumble recovery for a score against TCNJ before his kick return on Saturday. He leads the Landmark Conference with an average of 32.7 yards per kick return and the defensive player is sixth in the conference in all-purpose yards (100.5). He is also fourth in the league in passes defended (1.5).
He is the first Warrior to earn a spot on the Team of the Week since Khalil Johnson earned a spot on Nov. 5, 2024. He is just the second returner to earn the honor, joining Ricky Lanetti, who earned a slot on the team on Oct. 6, 2001.
The Warriors get back on field on Saturday, when they head to Dickinson for a 1 p.m. game.
