Hutchinson Community College quarterback Dylan Laible's career performance against Dodge City earned him another weekly honor on Wednesday.

The NJCAA named the 6-foot-4, 190-pound Blue Dragon quarterback from Little Elm, Texas, as the National Offensive Player of the Week for Week 8.

Laible is the second Blue Dragon this season to be named a national player of the week. Kicker C.J. Moya was the National Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 4. Laible is the first Blue Dragon to earn National Offensive weekly honors since quarterback Mark Wright in 2019. On Tuesday, Laible was named the Jayhawk Conference National Player of the Week.

Against Dodge City last Saturday, Laible completed 16 of 24 passes for career highs of 363 yards and five touchdowns. Four of those five touchdown passes came in the first quarter as Hutchinson opened a quick 28-0 lead. His touchdown passes came from 11, 57, 15, 39 and 81 yards.

Laible's 363 yards were the fourth-highest single-game passing total by a Blue Dragon quarterback in program history. Now with 25 career touchdown passes, Laible went from a tie for 10th to fifth in career touchdown passes.

For the season Laible is now 104 of 193 passing for 1,506 yards and 14 touchdowns. He ranks first in the NJCAA in completions, passing yards and touchdown passes and second passing yards per game.
