NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA. – The Northeast 10 Conference (NE10) has announced its first weekly football awards of the 2025 season, with Pace University junior Jhamier Howard being named the NE10 Special Teams Player of the Week.

Howard made an immediate impact in the Setters' season opener, returning the first kickoff of the year 95 yards for a touchdown. The electrifying run gave Pace an early spark and marked the junior's first career kickoff return score.

In total, Howard registered 150 return yards on just three attempts, averaging an impressive 50.0 yards per return. His explosive play-making on special teams highlighted a strong all-around performance as the Setters opened their 2025 campaign.

Pace will be back in action on Thursday night at 7:05 p.m., traveling to East Stroudsburg University for a non-conference match-up with the Warriors.
