Susquehanna University quarterback Josh Ehrlich, who starred at Broadneck High School in Annapolis, has been named the DC Touchdown Club Washington Metro College Football Player of the Week after another sensational performance led the River Hawks into the NCAA Division III quarterfinals for the first time since 1991.

Ehrlich completed 25 of 37 passes for 274 yards and one touchdown as Susquehanna went on the road to beat St. John’s (Minn.), 41-38.

“He’s played out of his mind this year,” Susquehanna Coach Tom Perkovich said following Susquehanna’’s win over Hobart in the previous round of the NCAA Division III tournament. “Josh, his improvement from last year to this year, I don’t know if I’ve seen a kid make the jump he made, especially with all we ask him to do at his position.

For the season, Ehrlich has passed for 2,864 yards and 32 touchdowns with just four interceptions. He also has rushed for 601 yards and 11 touchdowns and was named the Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Year.

Ehrlich, who is the son of former Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich, also last week was named a semi-finalist for the Gagliardi Awards presented to the most outstanding NCAA Division III football player and recognized excellence in athletics, academics and community service, That award, ironically, is named after St. John’s legendary former coach John Gagliardi.
