DURHAM, N.C. – North Carolina Central University wide receiver Chauncey Spikes was named Stats Perform HBCU National Player of the Week, it was announced on Monday, following his career performance this past Saturday.

Spikes showed out in the Eagles' 35-14 win at Howard University, catching nine balls for a career-high 208 yards and three touchdowns. He racked up the fifth-highest single-game receiving yardage total in program history, and the most in a game since 1990.
