Lake Forest College football football player Ethan Springer was named Midwest Conference Offensive Performer of the Week on Monday after helping lead the Foresters to a 56-0 victory over visiting Cornell College on Saturday.

Springer accounted for 388 of the Foresters' 502 yards of offense in the contest. In addition to completing 24 of 35 passes for 294 yards and three touchdowns, he rushed for 94 yards and another score on seven carries. Springer connected with 10 different receivers in the game and had scoring strikes of 4, 45, and 30 yards. His 82-yard touchdown in the second quarter matched the fifth-longest running play in program history.

Springer leads the nation in passing efficiency at 217.2 and with 11.7 yards per passing attempt. He also ranks among the top five in the country in passing touchdowns (36), passing yards (2,890), yards per completion (16.15), completion percentage (.725), points responsible for (240), and total offense (367.7). He also has a team-high 419 rushing yards, 7.6 yards per carry, and four scores on the ground.

The Foresters are 9-0 overall and 7-0 in Midwest Conference play and Springer enters the team's regular season finale at the University of Chicago needing just 21 passing yards to become the program's single-season record-holder in that category. He already owns that distinction in passing touchdowns and is on pace to break team records for completion percentage and passing efficiency in a season.

MWC Performers of the Week are selected by the league's sports information directors. Springer has now earned the honor twice this year after accomplishing the feat twice in 2025 as well.
