COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. – Saint John's junior wide receiver Dylan Wheeler (St. Paul, Minn./Mounds View) was named the MIAC Football Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, Sept. 30.

Wheeler caught nine passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth-ranked Johnnies' 45-20 win at then-No. 24 Bethel on Saturday (Sept. 28). He became the first Johnnie in program history to record 100 receiving yards or more in the season's first three games in the win. He caught nine passes for 139 yards and three touchdowns in the Sept. 7 season opener vs. Carthage (Wis.) and followed that with 12 grabs for 105 yards Sept. 14 against then-No. 5 Wartburg (Iowa). 

The 100-yard receiving game was the sixth for Wheeler, who now has 84 receptions for 1,105 yards and 13 touchdowns over his last 12 games. He is currently fourth in NCAA Division III in receptions per game (10.0) and 12th in receiving touchdowns (5).
