Posted By: Will Moss on January 28, 2026

BALTIMORE, MD – The Morgan State University football team has been named the HBCU All-Stars Team of the Week, while Bears quarterback Duce Lawson has earned the HBCU All-Stars Player of the Week honor for Week 10.

This recognition comes after the Bears' impressive 24-20 victory over South Carolina State University, another prominent Historically Black College and University (HBCU). The Bears' win showcased their resilience and determination, overcoming a halftime deficit to secure the comeback win.

Key Takeaway: Morgan State University's football team has been recognized as the HBCU All-Stars Team of the Week, while quarterback Duce Lawson earned the individual Player of the Week honor.

Lawson's standout performance was a key factor in the Bears' victory. The junior quarterback completed 18 of 28 pass attempts for 219 yards and two touchdowns, leading his team's offensive charge. His ability to make plays with both his arm and his legs proved instrumental in the game's outcome.
