PRINCETON, N.J. – Harvard Football quarterback Jaden Craig has been named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week. The senior signal caller helped lead the Crimson to a 41-7 home win over Brown, pushing it to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the Ivy League. This marks Craig's second career weekly honor and first since 2023.
 
A native of Montclair, Craig completed 24 of his 31 pass attempts for 317 yards and a career-high-matching four touchdowns (21 yards, 16 yards, 44 yards, 1 yard) against a Bears defense that allowed zero points the week before. His passing yardage and completion total, meanwhile, were season bests.
 
Craig, who also rushed once for six yards, was nearly perfect in the first half against Brown, passing for 228 yards on 18-for-21 passing and three touchdowns. The performance guided the Crimson to an insurmountable 34-7 halftime lead.
 
As a result of Harvard's 2-0 start, the Crimson entered the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 Poll this morning, checking in at No. 25. It marks the fourth straight campaign that Harvard has appeared the Stats Perform poll.
 
On the season, Craig has completed 34 of his 44 passing attempts for 525 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions. The senior's effort through two games has easily surpassed his production from his first two games of 2024, when he was 24-for-43 passing with five touchdowns, one interception and 395 yards.
 
Craig, who was an honorable mention choice for the Stats Perform FCS National Offensive Player of the Week, and his Harvard teammates will prepare for its non-conference road game at Holy Cross this Saturday. Kick-off is slated for 2 p.m. ET, with the game airing live on ESPN+.
