Cracraft’s four-touchdown game garners A-R-C weekly honors

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – After finding the end zone four times in Simpson's 36-3 win at Luther, wide receiver Noah Cracraft has been named the American Rivers Conference Offensive Player of the Week.

Cracraft turned in a historic performance, scoring in every quarter and tying the program record for most receiving touchdowns in a game. The sophomore hauled in touchdown receptions of 32, 38, 40, and 21 yards, matching a record that has stood since 2003.

The West Des Moines, Iowa native finished with 11 catches for a career-high 230 yards, averaging 20.9 yards per reception. He was a key piece of an offense that piled up 676 total yards, the most by the Storm since 2018.

With his four touchdowns, Cracraft became the eighth player in program history to surpass 20 career receiving touchdowns and helped Simpson remain undefeated on the road this season.

Cracraft and the Storm return home Saturday for their Homecoming game against Dubuque.
