FIU sophomore quarterback Keyone Jenkins has been selected as the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week, for the period ending Sept. 7, conference officials announced.

Jenkins led the Panthers' offense to their highest single-game point total since 2018 in FIU's 52-16 win over Central Michigan at Pitbull Stadium on Saturday night.

Overall, Jenkins accounted for three touchdowns and a two-point conversion in the convincing victory over the Chippewas. He threw for a pair of touchdowns, as well as a successful two-point conversion and also posted another score on a four-yard rush. He also logged a career-long 34-yard run in the home-opening win.

Jenkins finished the game 10-of-18 through the air for 124 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He was also a factor on the ground as he rushed for 42 yards and a score on five carries.

The 52 points scored marked the most by FIU vs. a FBS foe since notching 66 vs. UMass on Sept. 15, 2018 and marked the most ever by the Panthers in a home opener.

Jenkins is the first FIU player recognized with a weekly conference honor this season.
