Jalen Whitlow from football and Abby Saalfrank from volleyball have been named the Back To Health EIU student-athletes of the week.

Whitlow helped the Panthers win their fourth straight game as they improved to 5-5 on the season, 5-1 in the OVC.   Whitlow passed for a career high 312 yards with three touchdown passes.   He added one rushing touchdown with 20 yards on the ground.   The junior directed the EIU offense to 104 plays (third most in school history) and 654 yards of total offense (eighth most in school history) during the 48-26 win over Murray State.
