  "account": "Florida A&M football player Denzel Johnson, a sophomore linebacker, was named the Week 3 SWAC Defensive Player of the Week despite the team's loss to Tennessee State Tigers. Johnson recorded a career-high 11 tackles in the game, with four of them being solo tackles. He has been leading the team with 28 total tackles and has shown impressive skills in multiple areas, including a pass breakup, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and a blocked kick.\n\nOn the other hand, Bobby Engstler, a sophomore punter from Tallahassee, was awarded the Specialist of the Week. Engstler punted six times for 257 yards, an average of 42.83 yards per punt. His longest punt of the game was 57 yards, which he achieved on a season-best performance. Engstler has continued his impressive performance this season, punting 31 times for 1,258 yards and pinning opponents inside the 20-yard line. His four 50-plus yard punts lead the SWAC. The two FAMU players will be facing off against Alabama A&M this Saturday in the SWAC opener, with kickoff at 7 p.m. on Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium.",
