This week’s Blue Federal Credit Union Athlete of the Week award is going the length of a football field with the winner.
Fort Collins football player Levi Hermsen took top honors in the Fort Collins area for Oct. 7-Oct. 12 after a huge game as a receiver and kickoff returner last week vs. Fairview.
Hermsen piled up a whopping 346 all-purpose yards, nearly 200 of them on kick returns. He also had 12 catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns, including a 50-yard score.
It’s the second straight week that the Lambkins’ senior topped 300 all-purpose yards with multiple TDs. He had 336 against Horizon on Homecoming, highlighted by a 99-yard kickoff return touchdown.
Fort Collins’ Levi Hermsen finds a hole in the defense and breaks free during a city rivalry high school football game on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024 at French Field in Fort Collins, Colo.
He has the second-most receiving yards in Colorado high school football (all classifications) with 722 through seven games. He also leads Class 5A with 700 kickoff return yards.
Hermsen, a Heritage Christian student who plays for Fort Collins since the Eagles don’t have a football team, is the second Lambkins player to win Athlete of the Week this season. He joins FCHS running back Jack McKeon, who won it for his three-touchdown first half against Poudre in September.
