Mississippi Valley State's Xzavier Franklin has been named the SWAC Player of the Week by College Sports Madness.

The Decatur, Miss. native helped lead the Delta Devils to a 2-1 series win over rival Jackson State last weekend, going 5-for-11 at the plate with four RBIs in the three-game series. In the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, Franklin finished 3-for-5 with two doubles and a pair of RBIs.

It marks the first weekly honor for a member of the MVSU baseball team this season.

MVSU will host a doubleheader against Alcorn State on Saturday at 1 p.m. in Moorhead.
